Anyone in the Waco/Temple/Killeen/Hood Area?

The title says it all people! I am 26 years old and am from Waco, but living in Temple with my husband and children! I am waiting on a date from S&W bariatric center here in Temple so I can begin this amazing/hard journey and would love to find others in my area who have already had the surgery or are in the process of getting it.

This forum has been super quiet, but we need to liven it up! Looking forward to hearing from you!!!

I live in the area but having the surgery done in San Antonio (march 9th). I tried going through S&W but they wouldn't even see me after the first initial visit due to my BMi is above 50. I said I had to lose 20 pounds before they would see me again and/or consider me for the surgery.

Good luck!!

Who's your surgeon? I had dr esquivel... It's been great. Tons of support from true results! I really like their overall comprehensive program. I still have a little pain , and I'm clear liquids through Thursday , that's getting tougher to deal with than I thought ...
