I'm from Henderson, Texas and I'm looking for a Buddy that's within 30 miles of myself. I prefer a female that needs to lose at least 100 lbs. Thanks

I know I'm not exactly what your looking for but can you really have too many friends?

I'm from shreveport Lousiana, about 20 mins away from the texas line. I still have about 100- to 130 lbs to go.

Thank You for all the responses. I have not ment to ignore anyone. My daughter was suppose to be getting married this month and her fiancee just decided he did not want to be married. My daughter has four little ones. She has a 6 yr old ,a 4 yr old and a set of twins a boy and a girl 18 months old. My daughter is devastated and decided to take a trip for a week to get away and clear her head. I've been busy helping take care of the children. Forgive me if I seemed like I don't care enough to respond to your answers.

Ready to go I'd like to keep in touch. I just was wondering if there was someone close enough that we could meet sometime and do something together have lunch or just talk. I'm having a hard time staying motivated and I need some help. I would like to keep in touch with everyone. My e-mail is tgh153xl@yahoo.com

Once again I'm sorry I did not respond sooner. Hugs! Teresa

Hi Paula,

I'm Val, I live in Lufkin too and was banded on Aug 19 th.

Hey Val!!! Who did your surgery? Dr. Hambric did mine.

Today, I was able to start soft foods. YIPPEE! Then next Friday I can transition to regular food. I haven't had any problems so far at all. This morning I did accidentally swallow a piece of ice and it hurt, but at least it melted. LOL

This past week I haven't lost any weight. I'm hanging around between 18-20 lbs. lost which is what I've been for about a week. That's kind of getting me down, but I'm trying not to let it bother me too much. I just thought I would have lost more weight.

Nice to know someone else in Lufkin that has been banded.

Congratulations Paula on your weightloss. I lost 20 lbs pre-op on my liquid diet. I was banded on June 4th. Since I was banded I've lost 35 lbs. My doctor told me I should be able to lose around 10 to 12 lbs a month. It's hard to do unless I get my exercise in. I go for my 3rd fill Sept 22. I'm looking forward to it. Keep up the great energy and don't get down. You will hit plateus with the lapband. You are doing great. Hugs!

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

        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.

      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
