Hey there, me and a couple other gals in the dfw area have started a support group. If u would like to join us on this journey please do so! I am being banded April 2 with Dr Adam Smith. Come join us!!

Welcome Trina! I hope your journey is progressing well. I look forward to getting to know you and the others.

Same here and thank you. I have been looking for something like this and I too look forward to meeting everyone.

Hey Trina, I'm in Hurst. How much have u lost so far? Who did your surgery? I start my pre op tomorrow! I'm getting nervous!

I have an idea and I'm willing to volunteer to do it.

How about everyone email me ( or whoever ends up in charge of this) your first name, where you live and/or work, your banding status and whatever else about yourself you'd like the group to know about you. We can make a master list including our email addresses to distribute to each existing member and anyone new to the group. Like I said, I will volunteer to do this. However, I didn't start the group and don't wanna step on toes so to speak.

Thoughts????

Tahnee, I'm nervous for you. The whole preop and postop diet scares me to death. Good luck to you. I'm sending good vibes your way.

Yes Trina, send me ur email

I just sent out an email to all of you, I think so far we have 5 girls and everyone's email addresses should be attached. Feel free to start whatever u would like! I just want to meet some people in my area going thru the same thing. )

Hey! I had my surgery in Richardson with Dr. B on November 17th. So far I'm down 25lbs from the date of surgery. I have learned to be happy with that....lol. I figured with my PCOS that I would be a slower loser but so far so good. No problems or complications, no pb'ing or stuck issues at all that I've heard so much about. I'm taking it a day at a time and a pound at a time. It's a new life style that I'm still getting use to that's why I think this support group is a great idea.

Hi girls, my name is Tammy and I'm part of Tahnee and Teri's group. It is so exciting to meet new people in our area that have been banded or is getting banded. It is awesome to have a support group. Does anyone go to the Tuesday night meetings at Dr Smiths office? I think I'm gonna start going.

I think I'm gonna try and go tomorrow too Tammy. I have a 2pm appt there tomorrow but I don't know how long it will last
