Yes, The reason is if I have it here in Houston I would have to pay $5000 up front with my insurance but Dr Hollis partner in Dallas is only charging me $1360 out of pocket. A lot of Hollis patients are making that drive to Dallas to save that money. I will do the surgery there but Hollis will be doing my follow up care, fills and everything else. about the friend...yes I know and I have not heard from her since. Not to say did you find someone else or nothing. I have to shake my head at that and keep it moving. I dont need anyone like that in my circle.

Girl 40 is great!!!!!!

With BSBS I had mine done and it covered it. You have to have a c section or hystorectomy previously.

Ok . I know your throat was sore. That's one thing I dislike about being put under. Well my "good friend" that was suppose to go Dallas with me to get the band backed out so I had to fine someone one else. Girl I panic big time. You can't count on some people these days. Even after having a whole month advance notice backed out to go to a comedy show that's on the following day after our return to Houston. Lol smh........

I am going to try the Protein drink this coming week. Thanks for the tips. I really appreciate it. I was told if I had not lost weight when its time for the surgery they will cancel. I understand that they want to shrink the liver to get to the stomach better that that's a little bit of pressure to me. They didn't ask you to bring in a two week journal or questioned it before the surgery?

Hey girls how are things goingt his weekend with you all? I am stuck in the house working on this paper and I am abuot to scream. lol I ask my self everyday " Cassandra montes why in the world did you enroll to get a doctorial degree? LOL" Good news is that my professor said it is no reason why I should not be done by the end of the year so I am on a mission. I am also trying to get things caught up because when I have my surgery I am not going to be trying to read a book, or nothing lol
Chas girl your face looking a little different now. Slimming down huh? How much have you lost so far?

Thats good. I know you cant wait. I am counting down the days until mine. I go to that EDG consult on Wednesday and then thats it. 5 weeks and 1 day to go.

Sorry to hear that. Sending lots of get wells her way.

North Houston here. How is everyone.

I'm doing fine thanks for asking I really appreciate that an yes I've lost about another ten lbs so very happy about that! !!

Cleaning out my closet & came across pants I was wearing at my highest weight. They are 26W & now I am in a size 12. Holy crap!! Lol

Thanks for y'all's prayers ! Mom is so much better!

I agree. Get a measuring up. If im not mistaken we are only suppose to be bale to take in a half a cup of food. Walmart have cute half cup and dup containers with the lids on them

I am not sure if I said but the doctors office called me last night. I have my surgery date set now for June 14th. I go in to see him on June 13th. I will be going to Dallas that Thursday have my office visit spend the night at a hotel then have surgery next day. I will do all my follow up care here in Houston with Dr. Hollis @ True Results.

Alright!!!!!!! That's great. Congratulation. I just got my call June 14 th is my date. I am super excited too!!!!

You girls are really helping me prepare! All of these tips !

If you are worried or have questions you should call your doctor right away. We can offer opinions or advice but as far as I know there are no band doctors or nurses on forum.

Personally, I would never recommend wls for someone that is 20-30 pounds overweight. THIS IS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK, iow, "the easy way out"!

congratulations and I agree with your decision to wait until this school year is out. Best wishes! Come back and let us know how you are doing post surgery.

I'm in The Woodlands and was banded on January 10, 2013. I'm down 33 lbs and I'm loving my band. My weight loss had stalled for a couple weeks, but I just had my 2nd fill yesterday, so I'm hoping to see some movement again. Slow and steady wins the race

Congrats!

That's great, congrats!
