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.

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.

-110lbs goal

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
