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!!

Tying to get a count for June 5th, On the Border, Irving 7pm. Spouses welcome. Text or email me (817.894.1564 or kaymikes@ebby.com)

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!

Hi Robert, Just checking in to find out how you are doing. I am going with Dr. Snow for the iband as well and I'm anxious to know how it's working out for you.

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.

Welcome Banders!! Congrats on your new journey's...I was banded 12/21/11 and I have lost 100lbs!! I am Dr. Smith's patient...

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.

Is the group still actively meeting? Newly banded. Live in Arlington and work in downtown Dallas. Please reply here or send me a PM. Would live to meet some people on the same journey as me.
