Hello from Austin, TX

Hi! My name is Brigid and I am 34 years old. I was just banded on January 7th after a very long 5 month pre op surgical process! I am happy to finally have it done and look forward to re-gaining my life back! Hope to get to know y'all! ;)

    Welcome! I am pretty new here myself and I was born and raised in the good ol ATX up until I was 17. Its always been my home though. Im so happy for you! How are things so far? I just got my surgery date yesterday for Feb 10th so assuming all my financial and medical ducks are in a row I should be good to go. Please feel free to contact me if you need to talk.;)

    Thanks ash23! I hope everything goes well for you and that the date is set in stone for you real soon! I haven't been in ATX too long - just a couple of years. I came from Vegas so it is different! Hopefully I will be able to get out more real soon and enjoy what it has to offer! Feel free to ask any questions you may have - I may be new here but I am not far from having been banded so may have answers you may need! Good luck! ;)

    Who did your surgery?

    I went through SouthWest Bariatric and my surgeon was Dr. Stephen Clark and he was wonderful. It doesn't even look like I will have much scarring either.

    Who is your surgeon?
