Anybody from Texas or in or around Austin are getting band in March or has been banded this years.

Any good support groups in the Killeen/Austin area? (prefer closer to Killeen although wouldn't mind driving once a month or so)

I do and they do help with the stomach gas but the gas pains in my neck not so much. But the heating pad has been my friend.

Metroplex Adventist Hospital in Killeen has a support group, anyone is welcome. Weight loss surgery is just the tool and what matters the most is the support you are getting !.

for info call 254-519-8491

Have a happy Journey!

Who was your dr? How are you doing? First fill yet?

I have my first fill on the 19th. I am hoping I will start to feel that "full" feeling because honestly, I do not feel like I had anything done, like no restrictions etc. I get frustrated but then have to remind myself...it's only been a month...patience,patience,patience!

I just went back to work this week and it was fine. I have chosen not to tell anyone about the surgery, at least at this point. I may change my mind later.

How are you doing, 4 days postop?
