“True Results gave me my life back!"

True Results gave Katie her life back.

My story is probably a little different than most. I was always pretty skinny, but because of a tumor, my weight doubled from 125 to 250 in about 6 months. As much as the weight gain freaked me out, the effects on my health were even worse. I needed to lose weight — fast! A friend of mine had been successful with the Lap Band, so I asked who her doctor was. That’s how I came to True Results.

I went online to look up the doctor, then I called and made an appointment for the following week. When I went in for my consultation with the Lap Band Advocate, she totally eased my mind. I had a lot of questions, and the True Results team explained a lot — it really cleared my mind of a lot of worry.

The whole team at True Results really is amazing. They worked with my insurance, on my behalf, to make sure my procedure was covered. And it was — 100%. I paid $50 and it changed my life! They held my hand through every step of the process, and almost everyone I worked with was banded, so they really understood what I was going through.

Before the tumor and weight gain, I was a very active mom. I was involved at my kid's school. I was in a basketball league. All that extra weight took that away from me, and now I have it back. I have my life back and I love it.
