I was hoping that anyone that lives in or near Mesquite could tell me if there were any meetings nearby of bandsters. I've read where everyone meets offline and would like to do so too! Of course, you'll have to come find ME because I'll be lost in Mesquite! I can find I-30 and that's about it.:) If not this time, then when I'm banded and drive up to get my fills, I can meet up at some meetings!

Laura,

There are two yahoo groups for bandsters in the Dallas area. DFW Bandsters and bandbuddies. There is a luncheon meeting of Bandbuddies in Plano this Saturday. There is suppose to be a bandster dinner at the El Fenix in Mesquite later this month, I think. There weren't enough people interested last month and it was cancelled. Where do you live? I just live a stone's throw off I30.

I live in Arkansas, around Texarkana so Dallas/Ft. Worth is about a 3 hour drive for me. I did try to go to the seminar in Mesquite and ended up on the road a total of 7 hours and couldn't find the darn place! I left a little bit too late and so hit the going home traffic making it hard for me to look and drive at the same time. I don't see that well at night and for this small town girl, night driving while looking for the right exit in the middle of Dallas can ruin the nerves!! I've been to Arlington many times so I knew where Mesquite is but I was told LBJ freeway and I couldn't find that exit!! I called my son in law, a trucker, and he said it's the same as 630 or 635, I forget now. Anyways I'm going to try again and hopefully I'll get out of town sooner so I can find the place!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
