Hi All!! I am constantly looking for new friends on here that are going to be new sleevers in the DFW area so I thought I would see how this forum worked! Soooo... Here's the plan =) I would like to see if we can get a "support" group going on here so we can follow each other and be able to keep in touch on and off the board (unless you would only like to be contacted VSG board, just let us know!) I would like to maybe even get together as a group for lunch/dinner or whatever! I think that having a close knit "sleever family" (lol) would be so great to have =) Reply if interested and let's see what we can put together?!?

Here is a little info about me!!

My name is Toni (girl lol)

Married for 24 years (love him <3 )

Have a 21 year old daughter who gave me a beautiful 17 month old grandson Logan

I live in Oak Point Texas on 5 acres, LOVE the country although I am definitely not a country girl lol

I manage several Physical Therapy clinics in Plano, Frisco and McKinney which allows me to work from home #blessed!

5'4" and 229lbs =(

41 years young!

Due to an exclusion in my Aetna policy (grrr!) I will be having surgery in Juarez Mexico with Dr Rodriguez at the Star Medica Hospital on June 29th!!!! so excited!

Some of my goals are:

1) sky dive!

2) zip line

3) hiking in North Carolina mountains!

4) Run with my grandson =)

Look foward to meeting you all!!!

Updated to here

I've been traveling and super busy so I haven't been on the forum much. Funny thing is that I actually lost a little weight while on vacation!

I will message my email address rather than post it on the forums.

Looking forward to getting together!

Hi all! I am just starting the search for Doctors and considering Sleeve, so would love to join a support group! I also live in McKinney.

Hi JLOR,

I am also in McKinney. Maybe we are neighbors!

I used Dr. Cribbins in Plano. He doesn't advertise, to my knowledge, but I have been extremely happy. I was sleeved in December.

I think you missed me.

I am using Dr cribbins as well! I liked that he didn't advertise.

I think his office is very well run, and I have had no issues at all. Considering that he does not advertise, I wouldn't have known of him if not for the referral from our family doctor of many years.

Are you seeing Dr. Garza as well for supervised weight loss? She and her office staff are wonderful, IMO.

Presby Plano was a great experience - I had my breast reduction there (outpatient) a few years ago and then in December my VSG with Dr. Cribbins. They were so nice to my husband, making sure he had a place to sleep with clean sheets, pillows, and he was well fed.

If I can help in any way, please just say the word!

Presby Plano was a great ![/quote']

I used Dr Garza for my 6 month dr supervised diet. I love her and her office as well. It's nice to hear all the good reports. I am super excited an wish July 31 would get here already!!!!

Thanks for the referrals! I am going to see two doctors today, and I will add Dr Cribbins in as well. So...when are we all meeting for brunch/lunch/dinner? If your in McKinney and live close to me, I would love a workout buddy! I exercise early in the morning before work if anyone is interested. So far I'm just walking with a little bit of jogging thrown in. But I'm at 5 days a week for an hour.

I will be sending out an email by this weekend to get some opinions from the group about how we want to do our get togethers.

Look forward to it! Thanks Amy!!

Hey Toni. I got your message. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. I will try to later today. Ttys.

Hey Amy, I was just wondering about the email. I never got one. I wasn't sure if they had been sent out

I haven't got to it yet and probably won't till later tonight or tomorrow. Life has been pretty busy.

Ok I totally understand, just wasn't sure if maybe I missed it..

Take care!!
