Any Longview, TX bandsters?

I was just wondering if there are any other bandsters in here from Longview, TX who might want to team up for support or walking?

I am from Longview, TX and was just recently banded.

How are you liking it so far? I actually posted this back in March when I still had my band. I had revision surgery in May to the sleeve. Do you hit any of the trails around here or go to any certain Gym's? My email is trishsmith2@yahoo.com if you want to chat sometime.

Sent you an email, not sure if you got it.

Hey peeps, what doctor did ya use? I was planning to attend a seminar at Longview regional. I am still iffy on going through this or trying a diet one last time.

I didn't get your email. I'll check my spam folder. I'd live to know how you are doing. Bacca? I used a surgeon out of Dallas for my band and revision. He did an excellent job on both.

Trish, can I ask why you had a revision to the sleeve? Lap band not work?

I had my band for a little over a year. I went for a fill and they did a barium swallow and I was dilated over my band. They sent me for upper egd and my band had slipped. I was really lucky because I never had any pain. Honestly I was mad at time but am so thankful now because the sleeve is so much easier on eating. I still have to work to get the weight off but I never get stuck or slime. I did throw up once when I took one too many bites. I haven't had any left shoulder pain either. Aren't u in Longview too? Email me if u have any questions and I'll give u my phone number.
