I know about the "seems like forever"...I don't have a date yet, just that it will be sometime in May. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear back from the doctor that they have all of my documents and can schedule me. Waiting is sooo hard, but I'm hoping that the month ahead flies by quickly...like every other month this year! Good luck!!!

Don't be afraid Latacha...it's going to be okay! I'm still waiting on my surgery date...haven't started the preop diet yet. Keep us posted! Good luck to you!!!

I'm so sorry its necessary to remove your band, hopefully the bypass surgery will go well and you'll do even better than you did with the band.

What is it like to get a fill?

I decided to share the news of my pending surgery with family and coworkers, although many are very supportive I can't get the negative comments out of my mind, such as: I know people who have done this and they are still fat, a girl I knew stretched out the stomach and it was a waste of time and money...blah, blah, blah. I have always been one to prove the nay-sayers wrong, I just pray I still have that in me. I need this to work, I've been overweight my entire life and although food isn't my world I am concerned that I'm going to make mistakes and end right back up where I am. I know...think positive! There are more successes than failures in this.

Hi Texas Bandsters! I'm in the Houston area and would like to join groups in the Woodlands, Spring, Willowbrook, Tomball region if at all possible. I have not yet been banded, but I am scheduled for sometime next month with Dr. Reilly through True Results. Does anyone have any advice???

I'm new to the site but happy to have found it. I don't have a date yet, just that it will be in May. I've done everything required by the insurance company, now it's just a waiting game. Nice to be in good company...Good Luck May Bandsters!
