My name is Renee and I reside in Texas. I am in the beginning stages of researching the lap band procedure. I had my first consultation with Dr. Powell in Richardson yesterday and am registered to attend a seminar in July. I would greatly appreciate any hints or suggestions anyone might have before and after the surgery. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi Renee I'm Myra and I live in Allen. Congrats on your decision to research and change your life. I used Dr. Louis Fox at Medical City and have been very happy.

Keep in touch and let us know how things go.

Welcome to LBT. There are many bandsters on this board who hail from the Great State of Texas.

AS far as the hints for before and after surgery, all I can say is read read read. Do a search on LBT and many many threads will pop up, all with great information on them. Avail yourself to the resources here.

If you have a specific question, go to one of the different sections on the board (general discussion, support, etc.) and post a question there.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
