If you go to www.bandbuddies.com, I saw that they were talking about getting together - it sounded like they do it frequently and I thought I might check it out as well. The board is much more difficult to interpret than this one - more of an email chain, but most people are from around here I think.

Ruthie, there is a support group at Trinity Medical Center on Josey Lane in Carrollton. They meet usually on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6:30. Most of the people are patients of Dr. Veninga's, but everybody is welcome. Some of the people have had bypass, some are banded. Dr. Veninga is no longer doing the gastric bypass, so eventually the majority of the attendees will be bandsters. He also walks on the first Saturday of every month with a group of patients. We meet at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in west Plano and walk the 2 1/2 mile trail. He's also planning a family picnic in June. It's a fun group. His website is www.ntxbariatric.com and click on Patient Info and then Calendar of Events.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
