Rachele had a healthy baby while banded.

I was sitting in a fast food drive-thru, ordering a double cheeseburger when I heard the commercial for True Results. I called right there, in the car, and made an appointment to come to one of their seminars. That was the moment that changed my life.

Like a lot of people, I started gaining weight in college. I tried a ton of different diets, over the years, to try to lose the weight, like South Beach, grapefruit, Quick Weight-Loss and Nutrisystem — I even went to my doctor and got a prescription. Some of them worked better than others, but I gained the weight back with all of them. At that point in my life, though, I was ready to have a baby, but I just didn’t want to do it while being over weight. True Results and the Lap Band were the answer I was looking for.

I went to the seminar and I was so impressed. I knew I had to do it. Two weeks later, I was banded. I knew, going in, that I didn’t have enough extra weight or health problems for my insurance to cover it, so I paid cash — and I haven’t regretted a single penny! My weight is down, my confidence and energy are WAY up, and I have a healthy baby girl. True Results helped make that happen. The team at True Results is amazing. They’re friendly and supportive, they call to check in when they haven’t seen me in a while — they’re like a family.
