I too live in Dallas, or to be exact right on the Dallas/Lancaster line.

Had surgery on June 2 this year and have made my goal. Promised myself a new pair of pants if I did it before my birthday, but now it has been too cold to shop! Guess I will just tie a rope around my "fat pants" and wear them till the spring thaw!

I have had three fills, didn't start till I was 9 weeks out, had some restriction, didn't need one last month and doubt if I will this month. - I get my checkup on the 15th. My surgery was done by Dr. Sanchez in Mexico and Dr. Maese is my fill doctor. His Ferris office is only 15 miles from me.

I have the Vanguard band. Dr. Jay told me it can hold about 14 cc so it is probably the same as yours.

I should really start checking the dates on these threads before I start reading them. This one was started back in 2004....LOL My wife is a patient of Dr. J's, almost one year out. We live between Dallas and Houston.

Hi !

My name is Julie and I was also banded by Dr. Jay. I was banded 01/19/2006 . I have lost 186 lbs to date but I am starting to really struggle w/ food addiction.. I am finding myself eating things I know I shouldn't but I have started excerising .. I would like to start coming to the support groups but I don't know where they are and who meets where .. I live in Dallas not too far from Medical City .. Does anyone know where and when the support groups meet ??

wow Julie, that is amazing, congratulations on your ongoing success.

I don't know where the support meetings are either. I am hoping to find one north of Dallas if at all possible. (hate that Dallas traffic and I live in Shady Shores.)

Support meetings for Dr. J's patients are the first Thursday of the month, first floor of Medical City, at 7:00 pm, in the cafeteria area. My wife has only been to one. It's a long trip for us.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
