Hello!

Does anyone live in the DFW area?

Have a great day!

I live in Haltom City and I'm looking for a support group. Banded in October 2007, still struggling to keep weight off and be able to eat. I look great at 175, but can't drink anything. Just had a fill this week. Need some help! Would love to chat with anyone in the area!!

Hi Amy,

I'm in the Mckinney (North Dallas) area. I was recently banded (2/24/10) so I'm new to this. I don't know of any support groups in the area, I too have tried to find some. But if you need a buddy, feel free to email!

I'm 1 week post op in Plano. There is a support group at Presby Plano that meets The first and third Thursday of the month. I plan on going to my first one in January.

Garland, TX here Surgery done by Dr. Jayaseelan. He's great!

Ooh ... this is discouraging the last post was 2 months ago, and the one before that was 8 months ago. Doesn't look like this forum is very active. W-a-h.

I'm a newbie, just about to go on 3 month diet with surgery planned for early 2012. I live in Dallas. i'm 65 and weigh 415.

That is an old post. Start a new one if you want/ It will be more updated

Melissa,

I'm in Dallas, and I just joined this group. I'm just starting out.

I was banded Sept 23 by Dr Smith. Have you gone to any of support groups? Are they worth the time?

I haven't been to any, but I hear they're pretty good. I'm in favor of support groups in general. It helps to meet with people who are going thru exactly what you're going thru because no one else really understands.

I'm still wrestling with what doctor to use. The one I have is the best,but he's located about 35 miles from me. I'd like to see someone closer.

So you're a newbie. How's it going so far?

Hey guys! We are doing a great support group on 11/15/11. Marquis Walker, a former Detroit Lion and currently a physical trainer, is coming to speak to our group. He has found a way to do a workout that will work you out, but not completely wear you out! He had me doing a work out in the middle of Starbucks and no one knew! It was amazing! Anyway, he lives in the Arlington/Ft Worth area, but will come to you if you have a small group (I think 4+). He is very inexpensive too.

Anyway, the support group is TLCEdge. It is free and I am just trying to get the word out. I really was shocked at his theory and the way he goes about things. A total new take on health and weight loss. Please feel free to come. All weight loss surgery patients are invited as well as their loved ones.
