Hey there! I was banded by Dr. Veninga in Carrollton on 9/17/07....got my first fill on Nov 2nd...having my 2nd fill on Dec 11. For anyone looking for a surgeon or fill dr., I highly recommend him and his staff. They are wonderful!

Hi there! I was so excited to find this forum! I was banded on Sept 17th...had my first fill on Nov 2nd and I'm going back for my 2nd fill on Dec 11th. I'm not feeling much of a difference after my first fill....so... I'm a 34 (ugh...mid 30's! :rolleyes) married mom of 2 and live in the DFW area. I started having weight issues in college and it progressed from there. I was pretty average weight growing up and very athletic...as soon as the athletics stopped the scale started going up. After much research I knew lap band was for me! So far I'm convinced it was the best decision I've ever made for myself. I'm thrilled with my progress so far and what lies ahead. I went back and forth on what surgeon I was going to go with (I had the 6 month waiting period required by my insurance). I made a change the last month and I'm so glad I did. I LOVE my surgeon and his staff. I feel like I have tons of questions all the time so I'm so happy to be a part of this forum...lots of great information! Thanks for having me!

Hello! I'm new too! I was banded on Sept 17th by Dr. Veninga in Dallas, Tx. I had my first fill on Nov 2nd but I'm going back on 12/11 for more fluid. I'm a lot less hungry between meals now, but I still feel like I'm able to eat way more than I should at meals. Glad to be here!!
