Hi,

I live in Denton but haven't been banded as of yet.

I went to Dr.Benavides seminar this past Thursday and signed up to get the ball rolling for a Feb 1st initial consultation. My doc originally directed me towards Dr.Marsden but I found the website both these doc's 'share' and attended the seminar hosted by Dr. B and figured i'd just go with him.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this one because of a prior commitent but hopefully I can attend another in the near future.

Hey everyone: We had a medical emergency in my family and I will be flying to Michigan tomorrow (Wed. morning). My sister's son, who is 21 collapsed while exercising and is in a heart unit in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They have stabilized his heart (don't know why this happened) but are concerned about brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

Therefore, I will not be at the Denton Bandster dinner on Thursday night, but Richard, a newbie bandster will be there, along with others. Just go in and ask/look for the Denton bandsters. Ya'll can discuss things, get to know each other and plan on time for next month. I'm sorry that I will miss this first one that I organized, but my family needs me and I need to be with them.

Have fun!!

Billy, the manager is very nice and expecting ya'll!! So, everyone, have fun!! My nephew is holding on and in God's hands. We are praying for a total healing of his body. If you believe in the power of prayer, pray with us for Brian!! Thanks!!

Brown sweater and blue jeans, blondish hair with brown glasses.

I know you, Jules, so at least we'll recognize each other! They don't make reservations, but the manager is expecting our group. He knows some lapbanders are meeting there.

See you tonite!

Update: Right now, it is sleet/snowing up here, north of Denton. If this continues, I will not drive down to Denton (I am a big chicken on slick roads). I just wanted to let you guys know this...please post on this thread if there are any other updates...

Hey guys! Just checking in from Michigan where it's been snowing all day and in the low teens. Just spoke with Richard and he said that it is not slick in Denton and not supposed to be. It's snowing but so far all is well. Maybe the "bad stuff" is staying up north of Denton by you Cindy....sorry....check weather/traffic report everyone and BE CAREFUL!!

My nephew has woken up and is slowly talking and starting to recognize people. He said my name loud and clear...probably the clearest of anything he has said. I'm happy about that!! Please keep praying that he will recover TOTALLY and have full function of his brain. Still don't know why his heart stopped. Tests not showing anything.

You can look at a video regarding the 2 gals who found him and did cpr on this link:

Just a quick note before the dinner. It's snowing and sticking to cars and grass, but the temps are not supposed to go to freezing tonight, and the streets are only wet. I'll be there. I hope to see you.

      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.

      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.
