Hi Yall, one more Texan here!!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Well I have been lurking around reading lots of interesting, and insightful posts. But, I have finally decided to go ahead and join the group. I am just north of Dallas, and am considering LapBand. I will be self pay, and am nearly finished saving up. I do have some questions though. :wink2: Does anyone know of a place to get fills near Dallas if I get the surgery done in Mexico? Thank you everyone for your help. I am so excited, and yet nervous at the same time!! :wub::tongue2::)

TEXAS RULES! lol. I had my surgery done in Dallas and it was great. Not sure about where to get the fills tho. I don't know if all docs do that if you have the surgery done somewhere else?? Good luck!

I Am being banded in Mexico in Nov. and had to find a FillDoc 120 miles from my home..People seem to post so many problems and when the Dr. soing your surgery is not your Dr after surgery is kind of scary. I am going to Mex. because I don't have 100 lbs to lose and can't get it done here. I am excited but so hope I don't have complications I read about...any regrets??

No regrets yet. But I've only been banded a month. I wish I was feeling restriction tho. I didn't know that I wouldn't feel restriction until I started on my fills. Guess I didn't ask enough questions. But so far so good!

I am from the Frisco area and I did my surgery with iVital. They might be a place to consider for fills. I was self pay and one price pay for all (surgery and fills). I highly recommend this organization though. They are located off of the Tollway & Chapel Hill Near WillowBend Mall.

        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.

      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
