Hey Michelle, I'm in DFW too. I've been banded awhile but only since April have I been getting fills & trying to do this right. I'm still not perfect but im not going to give up. You are doing fantastic!!! Feel free to message me if you want. I could use someone to buddy with. A little more accountability is probably a good thing for me lol. Have you checked out the area on the boards for DFW area? Lots of nice people in our area post in there too. Good luck & congrats on the great job you're doing!

I'm in Garland my Dr is in Colleyville and his groups are too, I would love to find or get a group started in the Garland/ Mesquite/ Rowlette area. I know once I get banded I will need a friendly ear. My family is very supportive but they are thin so they try but just don't get it. Peace-out

      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.
