LOL! I know of Joshua and Snyder, though I've never been to either! I'm a small town girl, too. Grew up in Muenster, now live in Denton. After the house get built, I'll be living in Mountain Springs, I don't think it's even on the map, LOL!!!

William,

I use Dr. Curtis Mosier in Denton, TX He is awesome. He banded me Nov 22. He has a lot of experience with the lap band. I am a nurse in Denton, so I have known him for almost 20 years (yikes, that makes me sound old!) He is in the phone book. Check him out!

Hi everyone, I am in Cleburne. I was banded in November and My surgery was done by Dr. Powel in Richardson with follow ups with Dr. Maese. I have lost 30 pounds so far.

Can you describe your pain? Where is it located and how would you describe how it feels? When do you hurt...all the time, right after eating, doing a certain movement, etc.? Have you had a fill yet? If so, how long ago?

I was just in Cleburne Sunday, we were riding there. Please call you doctor if you are in pain. You should not have pain. Please also keep us posted.

Hi there...I'm new to the lapband discussion. I'm still in research mode. I live in Frisco, work in Plano. I'm 48 female, 203-210 pounds, 5'4" tall. My question is around qualifying...I'm considered obese, but not at the BMI to qualify. I've tried every diet on the planet, work out on a semi-regular basis at Curves, to no avail. If I'm a self-pay, is there a problem getting a good doctor in Dallas? I'd love your counsel on this since I'm a newbee...Thanks! Patti

I have pain after I swallow something...even Water. I am going in today to have some removed. It hurts in my chest. it feels like air wants to come up and it is blocking anything that wants to go down and so it just gets stuck.?. I have just had my second fill last week.

thanks!!!

Hey Patti, there are lots of good docs in your area (I used to live in Carrollton!) Just give these guys a second and they'll start speaking up...I think you posted an intro? If I remember, anyway, just what is your BMI? Have you considered Mexico, sometimes the docs there will do "Low BMI" patients unlike the US. Not sure about the cutoff numbers, just know I qualify. Anyone else? Welcome and good luck!

Thanks for your thoughts...my BMI is around 35 without any health problems related to diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I'll probably end up self-pay because of that. I'm ok with that though...I'm just sick of being heavier than I should be. 205 pounds, 5'4" tall...Heaviest I've ever been (even when I was pregnant!)

Anybody aware of any lapband presentations happening anytime soon in DFW? I know they advertise them all the time in the newspaper but I haven't checked recently.

Any help would be much appreciated.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
