Anyone in the DFW area?

[Guest DMITCHELL]

I live just south of Dallas, and I had the surgery on March 15. So far I have lost 33 pounds. Did you have the surgery in Dallas?:cool:

I was an FDA trial patient and had my surgery 5 years ago in New Orleans. But I now have a Dallas surgeon who tracks me as I don't need to go back to New Orleans again. Who was your surgeon?

Hey Michelle:

YES that was me!!! :banana

I'm SO glad you decided to visit this site! I haven't posted in quite a long time... life keeps me busy. :cross-eye

And yes... I am taking a trip so I refuse to "fill" me to the rim right now.

I should attend Dr. Jays meetings more then I would know alot more people but I don't I'm working on it though!

Do you have anyone you talk to? I know there are not alot of men in the group so sometimes it might be intimidating... but I want you to know that you can feel free to ask me anything if you'd like... I'm kinda the rebble in the group :guess if I can't eat it... I will figure out a way how :bored I know... it's so wrong... I'm worken on that too :bored

So how long have you been banded???

I'm glad you wrote me.... now you have me wanting to take time to check out what's been happening on here lately. It's not very often that I am ALONE.... and I am at the moment :banana :banana

So I'm gonna go surf this site.... hope to talk to you soon!!!!

Have a WONDERFUL day!!!!!

Michelle~

Hey, ya'll........Wish I lived close enough to join in on the support groups.....they sound like fun!! I'm north of Dallas (almost to Oklahoma but don't tell anyone!).

I was banded by Dr. Benavides at the Decatur hospital March 27. Dr. Maese did all my pre-op testing and is doing my fills (had one so far, another one next week). I'm feeling great!!

Hi, Carolyn.......I've met you at Dr. M's a couple of times. Good to know we have such an expert on here that we can turn to. You were a deciding factor on where I would begin my process.

I was banded this past week (May 30th, 2006) by Dr. J. It was performed at the Surgical Center close to North Park Mall. The experience was great. I feel good now. I looked in the mirror and I got excited looking at the amount of Fluid that I have lost in the past 11 days (liquid diet pre-OP and liquid diet post-OP). Surprisingly, I am not hungry. I keep telling myself that I will be able to eat that food that I am craving later and it is working (at least for now).

I joined Weight Watchers (lunchtime meeting) in March 2006 in an effort to work on changing my eating habits. Are there any lunchtime support group meetings in Irving, TX? Evenings are so hectic becasue of family commitments.

I live a bit away from DFW area, but my doc is Dr. Smith in FW. I have had my initial appts with him and the dietician and counselor - waiting on a surgery date. I really like reading the board here - gives me lots of encouragement. Thanks to Everyone!

Cynthia, I was banded 2/3/06 in Monterrey, mx and am interested in finding a Doc in the DFW area to continue my fills and follow ups. Would you mind sharing your Docs information with me? I've returned to Monterrey twice for fills, but would like to be able to have a fill in one afternoon instead of it taking a 3 day weekend.

[GayleTX 1]

Tamryn.....I PMd you the info on Carolyn's doc just in case she does not see your post. He's also my cardiologist and does a good fill job. Has offices in Ferris and in Highland Park. A real pioneer and a real pro in this business. (Dr. Fred Maese)
