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.

It's so cool, seeing this kind of support for each other!! Keep up the good work ladies!

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.
