I want a budd : ( I have a co worker with the gastric bypass but its just not the same. I also know a younger girl with the band but she isn't even following the rules and is totally immature! I am 330 lbs 29 years old with 2 kids and 2 step kids. Im married with a wonderful husband but he also is clueless and eats me out of house and home. I need someone or more to share my journey with.

Where in Texas are you? I am in Central Texas but was banded in San Antonio. Do you have MFP? There are some of us over there and I really enjoy the support they give. (as well as here)

I am in Texas but a lot older than you! But if you want send me a message. I am between Houston and Galveston. We can never have too much support!

Oh yes good luck with that I've heard a lot of success with the Lap band and children. I had mine when I was 18,and 21. I guess I was just fertile lol. Good luck on being banded I was banded a week ago tomorrow. Im just now getting back to feeling good.

What is mfp? I have never heard of that. I am from Stephenville texas. I am a week post op tomorrow.

Hi! I'm Jessica, 25 married and have a 1 yr old! I'm from Houston! I went to dr Hollis at true results. I'm 6 months post op and I'll be honest I am struggling a little bit. I have lost about 40 lbs.

Hi Jessica! I am also from Houston and will be having my op on July 6th. How was Dr Hollis? I have a fear of the gas (general anesthesia) they give you. Can you ease my mind a bit? Do you remember?

Welcome to the site! I am sure you will find all the support you need here. THESE are GREAT people here and I have never been on any site so supportive and caring.

I'm from the Houston area as well. I will have my surgery with Dr. Hollis on wednesday! PM me if you would like to chat.

Oh girl, you bet I will. And on Wed I will be thinking of you! Please post how it went. If you start to get the pre op nerves Tues night, you PM me, K?

Sending angels to be with you!

I'm in San Antonio. The gas post op pain is akin to feeling like you just woke up and you did 100 sit ups the day before. If you have a lap dog, apologize before surgery because Fido won't have his spot for a few days. (me, my lap dog weighs 80lbs, she looked so sad).

After day 3 it started to get better. I had my surgery on a Thursday and went to work Sunday. I'm a engineer on the railroad so the rocking back and forth on the train 4 days post op wasn't bad.

9 months has passed and I forget I have the band.
