Hey Shell, I live in Tyler but I was banded in Dallas. I heard Dr Beall is good and I have met Dr Babineau at a business function and he seemed nice plus his practice is a Center of Excellence. If you are self pay like I was Dr Kim in Colleyville is very reasonable, price wise and is also a Center of Excellence.

I have very similar stats to you. I am 33, began my lapband journey at 280 lbs, and am 5'2. I am now happily maintaining at about 140...

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
