Right after we quit texting last night I actually found a surgeon on my side of the metroplex who does the Iband.....Dr. Davidson at BSC Dallas. I didn't research too much on him since it was getting late and I needed to get to bed, but from what I saw, he seems to be very experienced in WLS. And, his fees for the the lap band alone are $1100.00 cheaper, a big bonus. Hopefully, the Iband is the same. I have already signed up for one of his seminars in 2 weeks and in the meantime am going to do further research on him.

Aawww Tahnee. Sorry it was a rough day. Truthfully, I wonder if they give us a two week liquid diet because they need us to be compliant 5 days and they know us over eaters! :-)

You are right, tomorrow is a new day and you can do it. Truthfully, I wanna go to sleep two weeks before surgery and not wake up till several weeks after it. Do you get any solids or is it a complete liquid diet?

I'm still looking into the plication. I called Dr. Davidsons office today because they advertise it on their site. The lady I talked to said they are supposed to be taking the plication surgery off their site because he isn't currently doing it. She said he trained to do it though. I told her I know of someone having it in Ft. Worth and I am interested in it, but can't seem to find anyone on this side of the metroplex doing it. She mentioned Dr. Davidson trained with a doctor in Ft. Worth and I brought up Dr. Smiths name and she said yes. She was very surprised I knew that. She is supposed to talk to the doctor and get back to me for the final word.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
