D/FW Area

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.

Baylor has one on March 10. My SO is a nurse at Baylor and the doctor's on their program are excellant. Already had Gall Bladder surgery through Dr. McCarty. Loved him and will have the lapband through him also.

I have been doing research for almost a year. I now have the paperwork in to the insurance company so I am just waiting for approval. Question on returning to work. I work in an office so it is easy work. How long before I will probably be able to go back to work? I had my gallbladder surgery on a Friday afternoon and went back on Monday. Any luck it will work the same way or close?

As you'll find out on this board, everyone is different...I had my surgery on a Friday and I returned to work on the following Tuesday. I could have gone in on Monday if I'd wanted to but I knew I had the day off so I took it.

Good luck and let us know how everything goes!

I am in Flower Mound. Was banded Dec 2002 and have lost 80 pounds. I am almost to goal and looking at plastic surgery at this point. We have a support group that meets each 3rd Sunday at Mimi's in Grapevine at 6 pm, if anyone is interested. We are also trying to do some boot camp stuff but having a little difficulty getting it going since we are kind of spread out....

Who's your surgeon?

Dr. Cribbins in Plano, Very nice man. My hubby had hernia surg a few years ago that he did so I already "knew" of him...

I'm in McKinney and I'd love to meet any time! This site is so great as are the people! It is helping me more than I can say. My surgery is set for the 29th and I plan on being a regular on this site from now on! If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on get-togethers, let me know, please!

Did ya'll know there is an annual seminar/party for bandsters held each year here in Texas (there are others in other places). The one this year was last weekend and it was here in Dallas. They have classes by doctors, dietitians, psychologists, exercise physiologists, plastic surgeons, etc and other bandsters. PLUS lots of fun stuff. We usually get a little rowdy and drink too much but a good time is had by all. It is in April every year and you can always find out about it at www.texasbandsterbash.com

There is one in Las Vegas, Florida, Seattle, and Rosarita Beach, Mexica (Baja) but I haven't been to any of those....yet!

Set a time a place kind of in the middle (I know 2 of us are on the north side of town) and we'll try to get together. Bev
