hey my fellown texan

Im trying to get the surgery myself if i can ever get to a specialist to look at me. what doctors are you going to see

I live in Ft. Worth. My doctor is Dr. Adam Smith, a successful lap band patient himself. His website is www.fortworthlapband.com

I read in a magazine about Dr. J (couldn't remember how to spell his entire name..sorry) in Dallas, the one mentioned in a few other posts. He was voted the best in Dallas maybe even TX by his colleagues for WLS.

Anyone from Ft. Worth?

Hey ladies from Austin...my second home :nervous I have lots of family down there and visit often. GO UT!!!! YEAAAAA (couldn't resist, sorry).

Glad to see so much support coming from TX!

One more (soon to be banded) Texan here.

I am just north of Dallas.

I have 8 more days to go. I am so ready to begin my journey. I think this is going to be the help that I need. I do realize it will be work and the band won't do it all by itself, but it will certainly help me along the way.

Good luck to you all!!!

If your in fort worth Dr. Adam Smith comes very highly recommended, plus he also has the lapband himself so he knows what were going through. If everything goes as planned I should have a surgery date scheduled within the next month :)

Good Luck !!!

GiGlesTX,

I am currently in the process of going through the pre prep program with Dr. Smith in FW. My insurance company requires this. I really like him and the office. Hopefully I will be approved in early Dec. Glogirl

Hey Glogirl,

Looks like there are a few of us going to get surgery in Dec. by Dr. Smith. I've already completed my psyhc eval and nutrition required Dr. Smith. For some reason my insurance company didn't require this for me. I look forward to talking to you soon. Best of luck!

:clap2: Hi all. I was banded yesterday morning by Dr. Spivak. I'm feeling great today with very little soreness. I just wanted to share my experience. I was a little sore and a lot sleepy all day yesterday:notagree , but feel great today. The treatment at the surgical center was exceptional and they called today to follow up. food today has been Protein Shake, grits, Water and applesauce with no difficulties at all. I just hope your all have as positive an experience as I have had thus far!:) :) :)

      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...
