    How Much Can You Eat?

    Glad to hear that! I thought I was the only one that could eat a pretty full-sized meal. I go in for my first fill on Jan. 7. I hope I start losing again. I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks. I was banded on Nov.20 and lost most of my 17 lbs. during pre-op liquid diet. In texas too ... who was your dr. and did you go through TLCEdge?
  5. Had surgery Thursday and also had to have a hernia fixed. The left shoulder pain is the biggest problem! Done the walking, done the heating pad, taken the pain medicine and it is still bad! Help!!!
  6. Thanks for the info. I am very ready too, no matter how hard it is. Let me know how things go!
  7. Dr. Adam Smith in fort worth and dr. david kim in north richland hills.
  8. I started with Dr. Smith, but, since I did not have any of the factors need for the insurance coverage, I switched to TLCEDGE and am financing my surgery. I switched because it is way cheaper thru these doctors and it was a special offer. Dr. David Kim will be doing the surgery. He is located in North Richland Hills and does the surgery in a new state of the art bariatric facility in Plano. You will only go to Plano the day of the surgery. I have done my homework on this Dr., and the facility, and am convinced I will be getting the best of care. If you look in todays Fort Worth Star Telegram, you will see a full page advertisment about this TLCEDGE special offer. My payments will only be 176.00 per month. My surgery is scheduled for November 20. I am glad I switched, because, although I know that Dr. Smith is a good surgeon, he has so many patients now, I felt i was going thru one big huge cattle call (if you know what I mean). Check it out!
  9. New to this site. My surgery date is set for November 20. I will start my liquid diet on Wednesday. Would love to get support from those who have been through this.
