Hello Fellow Texans!

I am 8 days out from banding and down 26 total and 13 from surgery!

How do I join the Bandsters group?

I'm an Austin bandster, and I got banded nearly a year ago! I've lost almost 100 lbs total so far!

How's everyone doing? Been a bit since I last posted. I have had a very slow time losing this past 5-6 weeks I guess I hit a plateau but not discouraged because I am still smaller than I was in April. I was due for a fill due as I was getting full really quick but put it off until this past Wednesday because we went to Las Vegas for our anniversary last weekend and have lost 2lbs since Wednesday maybe that plateau is starting to go away.

Let's go Texans let everyone hear us holler!!

Hi Everyone,

We really need to keep this thread going. How is everyone doing? I'm still not banded, and am still waiting on the hospital to get their Center of Excellence certification. They told me it would be September or October, so hopefully soon.

Well football season is here, lapband is in, waiting for my first fill... Can it come soon enough. I am going to have it done on the 16th of this month. I feel no restriction at all. But I am happy I have found the best shake ever, Banana pudding shake. This weekend I went to the Brady Goat cook off, oh did that goat smell good. Also did not drink any beer. Wow I knew I could do it and did. I was born and raised near Mason Tx. now I live in Thackerville OK but only spittin distance from the TX/OK line. I won't go any further.I love TX too much. I started out weighing 280/now 267. I have not had any weight loss in the past week cause I am so hungry, Just ready for my fill. Hope everyone else is doing well.
