Let me know when you are in the area, and I will let you know if I get approval again and when the next surgery will be. Glad you are doing well.

I'm doing well. Have less fill than I had when I went in for a fill after one year. Couldn't tolerate it, so all's good, losing weight slowly with restriction at 2.2cc Hope your band is approved soon.

Hello all,

I was banded last Tuesday by Dr. Nick Nicholson in Plano and I am looking for a support group in Fort Worth so I won't have to travel to Plano each time!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated..........Thanks!!

I was banded 8/15/08. I went through ivital, Dr. Cribbins. I paid cash, no insurance. I don't qualify, starting BMI 31.9. I am 32 yrs old, married with 2 kids. My daughter is 3, my son is 3 months. Anyone close by?

DFW has gotten mighty quiet out there! How is everyone doing? No problems, issues or concerns? Everyone still losing? I had my biggest month yet last month. 18 in one month. I am ripped! Ok, not really, but I am 18lbs lighter.

Hi, I'm Sherri and I live in Waxahachie. I started this process back in March and may have spoken to a few of you back then. I had financing issues (insurance has exclusion) back then ,but I have the $$$ now.
I had bloodwork & EKG done with my pcp today and she's gonna send it to LBS tomorrow or Monday!

I am seeing Dr Benavides in Richardson...

Anyone here still attend the group at his office?

HI DFWers.....
I am set to get my second band on September 15, Dr. Smith, Fort Worth. Can't wait. Had great success with the first one prior to slippage. Looking forward to more great success with the second one. Great to see you posting, Thunder.

Hey, hey, hey, I am back on the band wagon !! Got rebanded on Monday, 9-15 and am feeling great. A little gas, but definitely not as bad as last time. Feel like I could go back to work, but hubby says, uh? NO. You took a week off, now use it to heal internally. Sometimes he is such a pain in the butt, but I know he loves me and he knows I tend to push stuff. He won't let me this time.
