Welcome fellow TX girl! I'm in McKinney (work in Dallas). I got my band 5 months ago, and it's been the best thing I've ever done for myself. If you decide to get it, make sure you are really ready for it. You definitely need to go into it knowing all of the life changes you need to make.

I too have been overweight all my life. I was on my first diet at age 3. I lost quite a bit of weight on a liquid diet in high school, but I couldn't maintain it, and the weight all came back plus a lot more.

Let me know if you have any specific questions. I'll be glad to try to answer them.

Thanks for the reply! Where did you get your surgery done at?

Dr. Hamn (in Plano) is my surgeon. Dr. Cribbins is his partner. Dr. Hamn is supposed to be one of the best in the area, and I've been very pleased.
