Hi! I live in McKinney, TX and work in Dallas!
I was banded in March, and so far things are going well. It has certainly been an exciting journey so far.
Good luck tomorrow! Who is your surgeon?

Lucy...I live in McKinney as well. If either one of you ever have any questions or need encouragement, I'll be more than glad to try. Lord knows I've had my share of questions. To be honest, heck, I still do even after 3 years. So, feel free to contact me if you'd like.

BeckyinTexas, thank you for your offer! I added you to my contacts. You should be so proud of yourself. It looks from your signature like you have done fantastic. I too have quite a bit to lose, but I feel like I'm doing really well with it. Feel free to reach out to me as well if you need any support.

Thank you so much for your responses and best wishes.
I am suddenly feeling a great support structure around me.
I am getting banded through TCL Edge by Dr. Victor Gonzalez from Center for Obesity Surgery, Dallas tomorrow morning around 7.30 - 8.00 am.
Little nervous about tomorrow.
Would keep you updated.

City: Providence Village State: Texas | I am so glad I found ya'll!!! I know I will have tons of questions as the date gets closer and especially after my pre-op on Tuesday.
Take care and if you have any pointers you want to share that would make my pre-op go smoother please feel free to share... I have already cut out all fast food, soft drinks, sweets, I drink slim fast for breakfast, no pasta, very little bread (if any)... eating steamed veggies and grilled meats... trying to eat what I will be eating or what I think I will be eating after surgery now so it won't be such a shock after the surgery..
Of course I have 2 restaurants I have to visit before my big day.. Joe T. Garcias and my favorite chinese restaurant in Irving...

Thanks, I think I am going to need all the support I can get, especially during this liquid diet phase prior to surgery.

You can do it! I didn't think i was going to make it through the post-op liquid phase, and now when I look back on it, I forget how long it really was! You will be through it before you know it!:biggrin2:

Hi,
I live in McKinney also and currently working in Prosper. I'm being banded on July 11 at Baylor Plano by Dr. Nick Nicholson. I would also like a weight loss buddy for all the support I can get.
