Keeper 218 Posted January 23, 2015 I had my surgery in Plano and there are support groups in that area. However, my husband and I share a car and Plano is a little too far for frequent trips. I am interested in a local group in the Irving/Dallas side of DFW. I have a friend who is a therapist who had bypass done in 2002, and she would love to facilitate a support group. I just had lap-band this past November. If interested just let me know, either here or by message! Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dolores33778 248 Posted January 26, 2015 So hard to get Texans together. I guess our state is just TOO big! How is your band doing? Have you had a fill yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keeper 218 Posted January 27, 2015 hi @@Dolores33778 - just had my 3rd fill. I think I am finally getting closer to green! I have "only" lost about 15 pounds, and that keeps fluctuating a bit. I know I shouldn't use "only" or "slow" or other ways of not recognizing progress, but it is hard not to sometimes! Having said that, I am still so glad I had the surgery and I am still really looking forward to the success that I know I will have. Even if it isn't tomorrow. My next fill is in February. And yes! Our state is too big! I have noticed that seems to be hard to get DFW-ers (esp the Dallas side) together. I am really surprised by that since it is such a metropolitan area. @@Redroses63 I let my friend know. She said we would need a minimum of 4-5 people to get a successful group going. I am still putting feelers out there. I live in South Irving and her office is on Preston Road in North Dallas, about 30 minutes from me, fyi. But that is still closer and a heck of a lot easier to get to than Plano! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
