Hi Susan, watch out for my brother, he's a cop in Ft Worth. I'm the DH to MsJoy (the banded one). If you have any questions, just ask away. Someone here will be glad to answer it, I assure you.

Hi Susan,

I live in South Grand Prairie, right where Grand Prairie and Arlington meet at I-20. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut on March 7th so I know how you're feeling right about now! Welcome to Lapbandtalk, it was (and still is) a GREAT resource for me. Do your nerves a favor and don't spend too much time on the complications forum. It's nice to know what kinds of things can go wrong but it definitely rattled my nerves - I worried WAY too much about the surgery. You'll do great.

There are a group of lapband people meeting tomorrow at the Jason's Deli at 635 and MacArthur Blvd. That's tomorrow, tomorrow, Saturday March 25th at 11:00 am! You should come along, have lunch, and meet some other DFW bandsters.

Good luck to you on your weight loss journey.

Susan;

My wife and I are looking at Dr Joya (for her) so I'd like to know how your procedure goes...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
