okayestmom 232 Posted May 10, 2018 I'd be in for a 5k as well. That's one of the things i'm looking forward to is running again! I also live in Dallas.@Gully90 if you don't mind me asking are you having your sleeve done locally? I am having my sleeve done in San Antonio. Most of my appointments are in Killeen, but sometimes I go to their North Austin location. Texas Bariatric Specialists. 1 gully90 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were several from Texas like me and several teachers. In am not a teacher, but work with Communities In Schools which also follows the school schedule. My organization does not usually work summer school, but I do because I am in an alternative school that offers summer school. I won't be there this year because of my surgery :(. I am hoping we can encourage and keep each other accountable through this forum, and maybe us Texas folks can meet up next summer in a central location. Enchanted rock in Fredericksburg, the River Walk in San Antonio, 6th Street in Austin, or the trillion of places near Dallas where my daughter is. Heck, maybe we can walk a 5k together, just trying to be optimistic and be with some people that get it. I have attached this video before but I hope you guys enjoy my weight loss fish.

Sheena78 0 Posted May 22, 2018 Just got my date today, 06/18/18. I’m partially excited, and also terrified. I’m very happy to have a date to work towards and get everything in a row, because the unknown was driving me crazy! My date is June 5th. I am excited and a little nervous.

Lkalfakis 5 Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Good luck everyone 👏😊 Just got my tentative date today. June 22, start the pre-op diet June 7 and labs again on June 14. Should be fine as long as Aetna doesn’t screw it all up because I am using dated photos not documented weights for 2017. (2016 and 2018 are under control) The RN coordinator swears it’ll be fine and they do it all the time so I’m trusting her 😆 Also apparently my surgeon is retiring in July and is leaving his patients in the capable hands of his partners 🤷♀️ Wish I’d known that 3 months ago but I’m not starting this process over again lol Here’s to new beginnings ❤️❤️❤️ Edited May 23, 2018 by Lkalfakis Spellcheck failed me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
