Dr. Snow did my surgery June 2007. He is a very wonderful person. He and his office staff are very supportive, friendly and helpful. He has a great sense of humor and spends time with you to discuss problems or praise your success. I work downtown FW and live far west FW. Are there any support groups west?? All that I have seen are mid cities or Dallas.

No I did it at HEB does he offer it at usmd currently?

Probably not. USMD is where I went to the seminar, so I initially thought I'd be having my procedure a couple of miles from my house. HEB is fine with me. I've made that trip monthly for the last 6 months.

One of my friends just had lapband on the 15th and she swears she saw Dr. Carter while she was in recovery at the hospital on Matlock. Her surgeon was Dr. Harris or Harrison.

I scheduled my surgery today. It will be on June 17th at Arlington Medical Center. I'm really happy that I won't have a long car drive to and from the hospital.

So are you getting excited..?

I'm very excited! I've made calendars for my liquids and mushies. I've started a "Lapband Box" with all the things I'll need during that week after my surgery. I'm getting ahead on my graduate work, so I won't be stressed that week. Thank goodness that 2nd graders keep my mind occupied!

I did have a slight scare a couple of weeks ago. Dr. Carter's office called me at school, and I was so worried that something was wrong. They just had to move my surgery location from MCA to Surgical Center of Arlington due to contract agreements or something like that. Whew...I was okay with that. Same time, same date...different venue.

      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.
