I too live in Dallas, or to be exact right on the Dallas/Lancaster line.

Had surgery on June 2 this year and have made my goal. Promised myself a new pair of pants if I did it before my birthday, but now it has been too cold to shop! Guess I will just tie a rope around my "fat pants" and wear them till the spring thaw!

I have had three fills, didn't start till I was 9 weeks out, had some restriction, didn't need one last month and doubt if I will this month. - I get my checkup on the 15th. My surgery was done by Dr. Sanchez in Mexico and Dr. Maese is my fill doctor. His Ferris office is only 15 miles from me.

I have the Vanguard band. Dr. Jay told me it can hold about 14 cc so it is probably the same as yours.

I should really start checking the dates on these threads before I start reading them. This one was started back in 2004....LOL My wife is a patient of Dr. J's, almost one year out. We live between Dallas and Houston.

Hi !

My name is Julie and I was also banded by Dr. Jay. I was banded 01/19/2006 . I have lost 186 lbs to date but I am starting to really struggle w/ food addiction.. I am finding myself eating things I know I shouldn't but I have started excerising .. I would like to start coming to the support groups but I don't know where they are and who meets where .. I live in Dallas not too far from Medical City .. Does anyone know where and when the support groups meet ??

wow Julie, that is amazing, congratulations on your ongoing success.

I don't know where the support meetings are either. I am hoping to find one north of Dallas if at all possible. (hate that Dallas traffic and I live in Shady Shores.)

Support meetings for Dr. J's patients are the first Thursday of the month, first floor of Medical City, at 7:00 pm, in the cafeteria area. My wife has only been to one. It's a long trip for us.

      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.
