Hi everyone. I have been banded since 2006 but I starting over like I was banded yesterday since my origingal doc was fired a month aafter my surgery and was left all alone. Got a new doc this past Friday and he has given me some renewed hope. Would love some support from fellow banders. Started my liquid diet this weekend and it is a struggle but I am determined.

Hope to talk soon.

Small world, I'm in the Dallas area too (Keller).

I went through Lap Band solutions as well and had my surgery in Hurst.

It's been about 9 months since surgery and I've lost about 55 lbs. A bit slower than some, but, I'm happy so far. I've recently kicked up the exercising ALOT, and that helps more than I imagined.

I hate doing it, but, feel so good when it's over

Good luck to you!

Hello -

Dr. Benevides performed my surgery and Mr, Maese takes care of my fills. It is good to see some folks from Dallas.

Howdy! I'm in Garland. Dr. Jay did my surgery at the Prestonwood Surgery Center in Plano. Good to see so many folks in the area.

Hi Lisa!!! This website will definitely be very supportive.

Congrats for getting back to it and starting all over. Good luck with your liquid diet. How long do you have to be on one for? Since your band is already in place did you just go in and get a fill?
