Rica - Remind me right before you come and if at all possible I will meet you! We sometimes ride our Harley's down there and if the weather is nice it might be a good time to head that way so we can meet you!

Hi Dixie, I'm in Cleburne and I used Dr. Powell for my surgery. His staff was wonderfull. He is a little on the dry side. My surgery went well. The only thing I have to complain about is not really about me (well, I guess it does involve me). I was a cash pay patient and I was referred to Dr. Powell by Dr. Maese in Ferris Tx. I had my surgery in November of 2004 and as of yet, Dr. Powell has not released Dr. Maese's portion of my payment to him. They have finally agreed to pay him but I don't know if the payment has come across yet. He tried to say that I wasn't referred to him and came to him on my own will. Well I didn't even know who Dr. Powell was until Dr. Maese referred me to him. Any ways, though you should know that. If you are a cash pay patient and will use Dr. Powell for your follow ups, you have nothing to worry about. But watch out if you are a cash pay patient and you go somewhere else for the follow ups. Dr. Maese was doing my follow ups for free until all this got straightened out. I love Dr. Maese.

Hello everyone.

This is my first post to this group. I nave not been banded yet. I am still in the process of finding a Dr in the area. Any assistance you can provide in recommending a local Dr that performs this type of surgery would be appreciated. I live in Justin, TX, next to the Texas Motor Speedway, Between Denton and Ft. Worth.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
