I am in Keller, between downtown Fort Worth and the Texas Motor Speedway.

I am also waiting on insurance.

It looks like you've already dropped more than a hundred pounds in advance. Congrats!!

I'll race you to 200.

Good luck!

I have lost over 130 but as of now I am only down 90, I changed from second to first shift and BOOM instant 40lbs since september. I am back on track and dropping again but I have done this up and down crap for the last 10 years:thumbdown:. Enough about me, who is your doctor and how long have you been waiting on the ins. company? I chose Dr Carter but I have been reading about the way he does his fills and I think that it will take a year just to get enough in the band to make a difference, I also turned all of the paperwork about 1.5 weeks ago, so I am getting anxious. I am all for the race, now what are we gonna put on it to make it good?!

My surgeon is David Kim. He airs local TV commercials.

I was shopping around and he was the first I went with. I love the staff in his office. They are knowledgeable and have been nothing but helpful.

I was supposed to have a date on January 6th but my cardiologist didn't not cross all of his Ts and dot his Is.

Hopefully I will hear sometime this week. I am planning on surgery being early February.

I'm dropping weight in preparation as well. I want the lapband to be my safety net. So, I don't put it back on...again

"Again" I feel your pain there, I have been in the 400's and I really dont know how heavy I was but Low carbed it all the way to 285 in 10 months. I was soooo burned out by that time there was no way I could stay on it, so the yoyo dieting begain and before I know it I was at 385 again. I dropped back down to 280 from jan. to sept. of last year and I am at 325 right now. I changed shift at work and never could getback into a schedule or routine with the family and all of the sporting events and then the holidays. I am getting back on track i think.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
