Anyone in the DFW area?

Thank you so much for your support and the info on the yahoo groups. I will have to check them out. My new Dr. is Dr. Watson, here at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where I work. He is really nice and really encouraging. I see him again tomorrow. He has had me on a liquid diet with just water and protein drinks since Friday, so I am eager to see him and see if I can eat some food again. He is going to take out more of my fill tomorrow, and then on August 29th he is going to have me do another upper GI and see me again. But I have lost 6 pounds since Friday. I am happy about that.

I'm not sure I know enough about slippage other than what I've read on the news boards from other bandsters. I've heard major vomiting will cause this and I'm not talking about PB.

How much does dr. watson charge for fills and does he perform them under flouro? By the way I graduated from the medical center.

i had dr carter and no pre op diet, which caused me no problems...he is awesome, conservative with fills, which feels frustrating but is really best for you, i have nothing but good things to say about him.....feel free to contact me for support or answers to any questions about dr carter

I have my surgery scheduled with Dr. Hamn and have my surgery scheduled for mid-March. I would like to join a local "banders" club. I work in Plano...........

I am thinking of being banded by Dr. Jayseelan. How did it go and how much have you lost.

Who did your surgery I am looking for someone to do mine in your area. Have you been sick a lot and are you able to eat anything.
