Welcome Lucky!! How is your band journey going?

Hi everyone,

I just stumbled upon this site while researching the lap band. I'm really excited about the possibility of a "new me." Any negative things I should know about the procedure? So far what good things I hear far outweigh the bad. By the way, I'm in Ft. Worth...if y'all ever have a get together look me up!

Welcome Mary Belle! We will certainly let you know. I am hoping that we can get together after things settle down after the holidays. This is a great place to come for information and support. My best advise is read, read, read. The posts are filled with many questions and answers on all sorts of things. Again, welcome!~Come often, laugh hard, live long!

You might want to post under the introductions thread so people will see you and know who you are. Not everyone looks under the Texas thread.

Welcome aboard!

I have a stack of clothes in the trunk of my car that I need to find a home for. I think most of them are size 18/20 Petite lengths mostly in pants. If there is anyone in the North Dallas/Plano/Frisco area who could use them, please let me know. Maybe we can meet up somewhere or do dinner, etc.

I am in some 18/20's, some 20/22's. (Down from 22/24!!!) Hey! Your about the same height as I am!

By the way, I am looking for a dr. in this area that takes BCBS since Dr. Cribbons no longer accepts it. Any one know of a dr. around here.

[leatha_g 4]

Dr Veninga does, I believe.

[leatha_g 4]

You might could use some of these then. I'm not real sure what all is left but you're welcome to come by and go through them if you like.

Down 18-20 lbs depending on the day, 3 weeks PostOp. I'm back to eating about 75% of my pre-surgery volume. I pushed my surgeon to give my first fill before my insurance turns over Jan 1, and managed to talk him into tomorrow.

I can't handle cheesecake of any sort, it's like a brick hitting my band. Almost all other food is fine, so long as it's well masticated. I'm still having a bugger of a time burping, so I'm terrified of carbonated drinks, but who needs em anyway!

Incisions are almost healed.

Just my thoughts.

I know this is a old thread but I just wanted to let everyone know I was from Texas but live in a small town you all might not of heard of. I live in Joshua, which is about 30 mins south of ft. worth..

[leatha_g 4]

I know where Joshua is. Gotta love small Texas towns. I am from west Texas, myself. A town called Snyder. However, I had to move to the metroplex to make a living. I miss the quiet, the safety, the cheap rent and the familiar faces of my small hometown.
