Hi--I live in Weatherford, which is about 15 minutes west of Ft. Worth. I was banded July 17th, 2003, by Dr. Adam Smith of Ft. Worth.

Yes, Melissa - I live east of Dallas and work in Downtown. My date is not set up yet but I am hoping it will be soon. It would be nice to make our own support group.

I live in Dallas and I was also banded by Dr. Jay!!:(

Oh I just LOVE him! My friend and I were banded on the same day and we plan to attend the next support group. I go in for my first fill June 1, 2004.

Maybe I will see some of you one day!

We can become Band Buddies!!

If you go to the support group.... you'll be sure to find me and my friend Marla...we are the LOUD ones!! :D My friend Marla is so embarrassing...:mad: Gotta Love her!

Good Luck to all!!!!!

I KNEW I would spell his name wrong...:mad:

Well... that's me for you....

Dr. Jay is so wonderful....he also took out my gall bladder 2 weeks after the lapband surgery. I don't know whether I should :D or :think

But he has always been so nice and is very caring and sincere.

I know you will feel comfortable.

Tell him Michelle says hello... He will also know me as Tweedle Dee

and Tweedle Dum (tweedle Dum is my friend who also got banded with me....it's not the other way around I swear)

Michelle~:straight :(

I think lunch is a good idea. I have not been to any of the support group meetings yet, but I do plan to attend the next one. Like Michelle I was banded along with a friend and I think it has helped to have someone to talk to who really knows where I'm coming from. I hope to see all of you there. My first name is Tonya by the way.

Let's go :banana :banana :banana the night away! :mad:

Should we eat or sip on some broth... cuz I don't want you little eaters because you just got your band filled, looking at me because I eat now... :paranoid . And let's plan this before my fill.. I think Dr. J moved it to May 17 ... so lets get together soon! :( .

So do we have any planners in this groupie of ours????:straight

Talk to your all soon!!!

I think we should do it soon too. Where is a central location so that we can all meet? I'm in Duncanville but work in Rockwall so I can do anything on the East side or south side of Dallas. When is the Dr. J's next meeting?

Dr. J's next support group is Monday May 3 at 7pm. It is in building A in the cafeteria I think.... let me get back to you on that one.... I haven't been to one yet but just got a invite to it.

Maybe we can meet up there and set up our own little thing there! :mad:

Hope to see you all there!!!! ::::::::::hugs::::::::::::

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
