I'm in North Dallas and just getting myself in the swing of things. Had my surgery June 2010 with very little restriction, 2.5; which was ok since I was traveling for work & having to do business dinners fairly often the less restriction gave me freedom for that. I had not had a fill and lost about 45 lbs, but this weekend i finally got one and really want to do this not so half-ass as I admittedly have been. Rapid weight loss was not my original goal, overall health and feeling better about myself was. I think now the my two year mark is approaching I'm having a freak out moment where I realize I have let precious time go by that I could have had much better results with. When I went in they measured my fill at 2.0 and filled me to 3.5. I Was doing so mny things wrong I'm surprised I lost any weight at all. I'd love to know some Texas peeps going thru this. No one I know can fathom my decision other than a handful wh

Hi DFW friends! I'm 11 days post op now and the gas pains are pretty much gone. I just have a horrible pain in my left shoulder. I've read others have had this and am just scared its not going to ever go away. Walking walking walking was the best for the gas. There's really nothing that helps the shoulder pain. :(

Just found this thread and thought I'd bump it up! I live/work north of Dallas. I'm hoping to be approved for surgery soon. My husband was banded about 2 years ago and has lost about 130 lbs in that time (started at 380lbs).

Ok DF/W banders, wanna be banders, and curious ... lets set up an evening, after work, where we can gather.

Irving or Arlington might be good just because there are those of us from Rockwall and Benbrook, Allen and Alvarado ....

Lets hear some suggestions. We are all at different stages so we can't all have the same things. My suggestion is Mexican food or maybe a steak house. Because Soup, refried Beans or baked potato, and Protein like steak and chicken.

Say??? A Tuesday night? June 5th?

Let me hear from you. You can email, text, message on here, or whatever.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
