Hi Christie, Welcome to LBT!! It is so nice to meet you! Good luck.

Hi Christie, congratulations on getting your band and your first fill. My DW is the banded one, I'm the support team. We're over in Fairfield, but Joy was banded by Dr. J also, back in December.

THanks for the warm welcome, since theres not a support group in waco this site has been really helpful.

Hi Christie

I was also banded by Dr. Jay and live close to Waco. A support group has been started in Waco. We had our first meeting 5-9-06. Only two of us showed up but hoping more and more will show. I was banded 3-15-04 over 2 years now and have reached my goal. I go to Dr. Jays support group meetings in Dallas, but I hope this one in Waco will get going. You can call Dr Jay's office, talk to Holly about the details about the support group. We maybe changing the location for the June meeting. So welcome and I hope to see you at one of the meetings.

Hi Christie! Welcome to LBT. You've found a great site for support and information. The Texas group is a great bunch of folks who will no doubt take you under their wings and make you feel right at home.

Best of luck with your banding! Keep us posted on how you're doing.

Hi SUNNYO,

I PM'd you a few minutes ago about negotiating your way around LBT and starting new threads. Hopefully, the information will be useful and that you'll be able to figure out how to open the PM! LOL (PM means private mail and you can locate it on the home page at the top right!)

Good luck!

Hi Christie,

Welcome to LapBandTalk. You're always welcome to come to the Dallas area and join us for lunch! I know, kind of long drive for lunch and chat!

Good luck on your weight loss journey.

Donna, no further than what Joy and I have to drive. We'll see you on the 20th, hopefully.
