Dallas, Texas Sleevers! !

[GlendaLee 44]

I am told there is a support group meeting at Baylor Plano the 2nd wednesday of every month.

I am also wondering the possibility of putting together our own area support group meeting. Is it necessary to have a nutrionist or a psychiatrist running these groups? Or could a group of sleeve patients just gather and sit around and talk about things and learn from one another?

I think it would be great for us to just get together and chit chat!

Hey everyone, it has been a minute since I've posted.

F.Y.I. believe sleep study is required.

Did my 30 day checkup today.

Hi 265

Preop 262

SD 256

Today 233.4

BMI preop 40

BMI today 36

Lots of inches lost!

Dr's happy said lost 10# n 3wks is superb. Clean bill of health, cleared to workout & don't come back for 3mo unless complications. Bet that...I about to be on one as soon as I'm completely over the flu!

I am a patient of Dr. Davidson in North Dallas. I will have to have my surgery at Presbyterian Hospital. Anyone have any experience with either?

[roriep 23]

Dr. Stowers in Decatur...I am from Comanche Texas. I am 5'7" and started 235- down to 204.5 in 4 weeks.....

Our starting BMIs are about the same. What is your goal weight? I really only want to lose to about 170.

rorie,

My surgery was done at Presby. Great hospital, but the accommodations are a bit outdated. The nursing care is great. No complaints!

Hi everyone! I am scheduled for Feb 7th with Dr. Jayaseelan at Forrest Medical Park. I hope to meet some of you guys at support meetings and such! I am new to Dallas, so I do not know manny people yet. If you guys know of any groups, classes, meetings, therapists, or other valuable resources, I would love to know!

Hi theamarie;

First, welcome to Dallas! Secondly, there is a support group that meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month at Forst Park Medical Center. I believe it starts at 7:00.

Personally, i don't feel once a month is enough and am thinking of starting a support group in the North Dallas/Richardson/Plano area. I think that an informal gathering of sleeved patients as well as those thinking about it would be awesome. The other support groups are led by Nurse Practitioners, nutritionists, etc. and that information is great, but I think talking in a smaller group setting would be beneficial for many.

Hello All! I was sleeved by Dr. James Davidson at Forest Park Medical on May 19, 2011. I started at 220 lbs the day of my surgery. I lost twenty pounds prior to surgery. I'm currently 148 lbs and loving it! I wouldn't trade my sleeve for anything. Going into my second year, so if you have questions please feel free to contact this Garland TexAs resident.

The next support group meeting is the 13th, so let's use that as a platform to catapult a monthly (or more often) Saturday lunch get together. My son will be in town on the 16th, so let's go for the 23rd.

What part of the DFW is central to most that would be interested? I'm in Plano, myself.. and was thinking of Season's 52 nearly Legacy and the Tollway because everything there is so healthy and low calorie. I was going to call a manager there or wherever we choose and kind of work with them to maybe cater to our sleeve needs.

Anyone interested feel free to respond here, or message me,

Kevin

Hi all, I'm getting sleeved on the 26th of February by Dr. David Kim at Baylor Hospital in Trophy Club. Has anyone had experiences with either the doctor or the location?
