I am looking for a sleeve buddy in my area. :cool0:

I'll jump into the group and say hello to all and good luck to those still awaiting their surgeries. There are a lot of great WLS docs in TX, so I feel we are all so lucky to live here and benefit from their expertise.

I had to go "wedding ring" shopping today for a fake wedding ring. My old one is huge on my finger now and I'm not ready to re-size it yet. This is my second "fake" ring since my revision surgery. Just one of those non-scale victories we all talk about.

Also, my husband is out of town at a large conference. We work together, so most of our business associates have met me in the past. He's been showing everyone my pic on his cell phone (the same one as my avatar), and being proud of my progress. One guy I've known for over 10 yrs mistook me for my 22yr old daughter (he's old and needs glasses - so I can understand the mistake - ha!). Living in this body just feels so weird now - weird and wonderful.

Let us know how it goes. BTW who are you going see?

Wow! Who would have thought you would be mistaken for a 22 yo! You do look very young for your age. (hope that didn't sound like a backsided compliment, not meant to) Your pictures and words definitely inspire me! Can't wait for my surgery!!!!

I want to jump in too. I am in Rowlett just outside of Dallas and am getting my surgery on June 9th. I can't wait!

I live in Cedar Hill (sw suburb of Dallas). If anyone would like to chat or even get together for exercise, etc. Please drop me a line. I need to widen my support group and would really like to have people in it that have been thru or are going thru the same things I am.

I am a sleever to be. I am in the Dallas Metroplex area. Anyone in my area? I would love a buddy/Mentor.. I am going through the pre-op, pre-authorization stuff.. Have a nutritionist's appt this week.. My band has slipped 3 times.. so it is going to be removed as I sleeve. My Dr. in in Baylor - Downtown Dallas.

Do you all have blogs that I can read?

Thanks. I look forward to meeting you one day..

Hi there... I live just south of DFW in Glenn Heights (Desoto/Lancaster area). My date is June 8th. WOO HOO... anyway... would love to visit more.

:svengo:Did you just lose your pre-op weight? I'm not doing great with that!!!! I'm having a hard time with telling myself no. My mind keeps telling me you may never eat this or that again, blah,blah,blah. Help!

Hey there Texans,

I live in Northwest Houston and Dr. Jason Balette, :001_tongue:in the Woodlands is mine and my husbands doctor. I was sleeved on March 12 and my husband on April 21. I have lost around 36 lbs. Lets keep in touch.

I cant believe how many of us are in the Garland (and nearby) area. We need to for a Facebook Group or something.
