I would be willing to meet up. I think it would be great to do something besides eat together. Maybe organize a walk at a park or something that could be good for us.

I would be interested in getting together. I live a couple of hours away but get in fills in dfw area, and I think the best time for me would be weekends and am open to the place.

Let's meet on a weekend--downtown Dallas might be a central location. I think that a restaurant would be a good idea. Since we're all bandsters, we could order appetizers and share them. Looking forward to meeting all of you!!!

Hi Cherri,

First, thank you for taking action on this.

To answer your questions:

1. I would love to attend (count my in as one)

2. I like the idea of a weekend for the first meeting, I think the odds that more bandsters could attend on the weekend.

3. That is a geography question and maybe we could take a poll some how, does this forum have an option to do that. If there are more RSVPs from East Dallas than anywhere else, it would make sense to make the meeting convenient for the majority. As for where, I loved the idea of a park or something to get us out and active, but I realize it is going to be a meet and greet for the first meeting, so a community room or restaurant makes sense.

Let me know if I can help!

Cheers,

Mary

Hey everyone,

I am very interested in meeting, also. Has anyone set up a meeting? I see lots of suggestions but no definate meeting plans. How many times can I say meeting? LOL. I have no preference. Any place, any time, to meet some fellow banders and share support.

Okay, BigBaby! You know I luv ya, but how the heck is Dallas central for DFW?!?!? LOL HEB or Arlington, maybe! (Yes, MY neck of the woods! :tongue2:)

I like the park/walk idea! River Legacy Park is in North Arlington and has miles of great paved trails in a gorgeous setting.

But I'll go anywhere to meet up with some fellow bandsters, so count me in.

BTW, there is a get together this evening at Mercado Juarez at Matlock & I-20 at 6:30pm tonight. Lap Band Support group meeting that gets its own meeting room and is open to any who want to show up. I have never gone to ANY and I think I might go.

      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.
