There is a dinner in Arlington - at Mercado Juarez - the third Thursday of each month. The time is 6:30. We would love to see you there. You can meet me, Cynthia Jones (a 210 pound loser), Charlie (the unofficial host), my DH Bob, and a host of others.

Where do you live? There are several other D/FW dinners throughout the month, from Burleson to Plano to Dallas, etc. I only attend the one, but I can get you info on any that might interest you.

hi my name is nikki. I just got banded on 08/18/06. I am trying to stay positive and I think people who have had the procedure can do me some good. I love to come to one of the Saturday dinners to meet all of the participants.

The only one I go to is the one in Arlington - third Thursday of each month (6:30 PM) at Mercado Juarez.

There IS a private room involved, but no password. Just tell them you're with the Lap Band group - or the fat people. Either way, they will point you in the right direction.

Attendance varies, but I'd say on the average, there are usually about 15-20 people there.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
