Anyone near Dallas?



Recommended Posts

Here's my question.....one of my goals when I first started this fantastic lap band trip was to fit my butt in a pair of jeans again and then FINALLY take a ride on a motorcycle. Now I'm looking for any one that might want to help a girl out making one of my goals come true. I can now fit in those jeans and I'm just hoping to find someone that would be willing to take a chance and I'd promise not to scream in their ear or hold on too tight. So if there's any brave soul out there...I'd love to hear from you.

Becky, you and my wife have the same doctor. We may have passed each other in the office? How close is "close to Dallas"? I've given lots of rides here in our little town. I always ask the question, "Go fast or go stylin'?" I have yet to go stylin'. Why is it women like to go fast? Get back to me, maybe I can help you out....

Dr. Jay is great! He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. So far, I've lost more weight than any of this other patients. I'm a bit competitve, I guess. Well, my close to Dallas would be McKinney. And I'm not sure what stylin is but I'd be up for whichever. It's just something I promised myself that I'd do and man, I really want to. How's your wife doing with her band? I bet she feels the same way as I do about Dr. Jay. Take care and let me know where y'all live.

Becky, we live about a hundred miles south of Dallas, toward Houston. But if you go north from McKinney, just a little ways, you run into the area where my mom is from, Van Alstyne. Stylin' in our town is going downtown on a Friday or Saturday night and riding around the square (yes, it's square) so that all your friends get a look at you. Seeing and being seen, I guess. In Fairfield, the biggst thing is Sam's BBQ, out on the interstate. Mostly, we're a gas stop for folks on the way to Houston or Dallas.

As for the band, Joy is losing very slowly. She's down to 218, down 83 lbs. Looking for onederland...wooohooooo!

I'm very serious. I just though that you being kinda far from here it would be to much trouble for you. But since your Mom lives in Van Alstyne, I'm betting you and Joy come up to visit her so if you're ever going to be up this way, I'm ready for sure!

      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.
