Hi, my name is Dawn and I live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth (Texas) Metroplex. I am (or formally was) a teen parent, graduated high school, just graduated from college and am now in the process of finding a job (I just got my license). I have been overweight since middle school but obese (:( ) for the past 6 years. I am currently 23, but do not feel it. Not that I know what age I do feel. I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old and cant wait to get further into the process of banding so that I may enjoy energy that I once took for granted. I do not have insurance unitl Late Aug when my husband will be leaving with the Army National Guard for Basic & Specialty training...in which he will be gone for 7 months (so hopefully I can get everything done in that time period). Anyway, congratulations to those that have the band and have begun their new lease on life and good luck to all those in the process!

Dawn (pre-band, still researching options & waiting to be insured)

Hi Dawn!

I also live in the Dallas area - always good to see someone from my neck of the woods! :( I'm also waiting to be banded. My surgery date is August 27. Good luck finding a job and some good insurance - hopefully it won't be long before you're banded, too! :P

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
