Hey there!

I live and work in the Frisco area. Not banded yet, but my husband was 2yrs ago. I'm hoping I will get my band the last week of July at the latest!

There are so many bandsters in the DFW area, there will never be a perfect time or place for everyone.

A few of us are getting together on June 5th, at the One the Border at 183 and Beltline in Irving, if anyone is interested. I am banded, my husband is considering it, so I'm bringing him too so he can see how others handle it.

If you're banded, thinking about banding, curious, whatever - consider joining us. I'll make arrangements with the staff at On the Border, if we need to, but right now there are only about 4 of us. If you'd like to join us, either call/text me at 817.894.1564 or email me at kaymikes@ebby.com.

Hi everyone, I was banded April 23rd at Fort Worth Lap Band. The best decision I EVER made! I would love to get together with others living the "lap band way".

I am in Arlington and free any day or evening except Wednesday nights when I go to Dallas to play cribbage. lol

Hello Everyone,

I am getting Ibanded by Dr. Robert Snow. I was going for the sleeve through True Results in Richardson (Dr. Marsden) but after submitting all of my info to my insurance company, they realized it would not be covered because my BMI wasn't over 50. I was absolutely distraught until they contacted me today and referred me to Dr. Snow. Vicky was great and assured me that their patients see results just as well as those that have had the sleeve. I'm still skeptical but this is the first time I'd even considered it so I'm hoping to read some success stories here! :rolleyes:

Hi WebChik! I'm doing great! I am down 52 pounds since my surgery and feel great. Dr. Snow and his team are awesome! If I have any questions they are more than happy to answer them. I've been pretty issue, no stuckies or anything like that, but following the eating instructions is key. It hasn't been easy, but is so well worth it. Keep us updated on your scheduling and feel free to ask me anything. I'll be happy to help as best I can.

Banded on August 27, 2012. Lost fifty pounds as of October 28, 2012. Half way home and feeling great! Surgery was done by Dr hamn in Plano. I have only had one fill and can really feel no restrictions to speak of. But I'm losing weight so I'm not complaining. Reading about some of the restrictions others are having it makes me wonder if I should check on getting a fill.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
