Hi! I live in McKinney, TX and work in Dallas!

I was banded in March, and so far things are going well. It has certainly been an exciting journey so far.

Good luck tomorrow! Who is your surgeon?

Lucy...I live in McKinney as well. If either one of you ever have any questions or need encouragement, I'll be more than glad to try. Lord knows I've had my share of questions. To be honest, heck, I still do even after 3 years. So, feel free to contact me if you'd like.

BeckyinTexas, thank you for your offer! I added you to my contacts. You should be so proud of yourself. It looks from your signature like you have done fantastic. I too have quite a bit to lose, but I feel like I'm doing really well with it. Feel free to reach out to me as well if you need any support.

Thank you so much for your responses and best wishes.

I am suddenly feeling a great support structure around me.

I am getting banded through TCL Edge by Dr. Victor Gonzalez from Center for Obesity Surgery, Dallas tomorrow morning around 7.30 - 8.00 am.

Little nervous about tomorrow.

Would keep you updated.

I am so glad I found ya'll!!! I know I will have tons of questions as the date gets closer and especially after my pre-op on Tuesday.

Take care and if you have any pointers you want to share that would make my pre-op go smoother please feel free to share... I have already cut out all fast food, soft drinks, sweets, I drink slim fast for Breakfast, no Pasta, very little bread (if any)... eating steamed veggies and grilled meats... trying to eat what I will be eating or what I think I will be eating after surgery now so it won't be such a shock after the surgery..

Of course I have 2 restaurants I have to visit before my big day.. Joe T. Garcias and my favorite chinese restaurant in Irving... :)

Congrats Rhonda! I'm excited for you! It's been a great move for me, and I'm having a lot of success. It's slowly changing my life. Who is your surgeon? Let me know if you need any support! We McKinney girls need to stick together!

You can do it! I didn't think i was going to make it through the post-op liquid phase, and now when I look back on it, I forget how long it really was! You will be through it before you know it!:biggrin2:

Hi,

I live in McKinney also and currently working in Prosper. I'm being banded on July 11 at Baylor Plano by Dr. Nick Nicholson. I would also like a weight loss buddy for all the support I can get.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
