Hey guys. I got sleeved 1/9/13. Wondering if there are any support groups in the DFW area?

I would love to know as well. I know of one that meets in Keller pretty regularly? What part of DFW are you in?

Lots of people here go to the group at Baylor in Plano. I haven't been personally as I live in Fort Worth, but the people I know say it is an incredible group. There is a also a group of us who meet in the north Dallas area the first Saturday of each month for lunch. If you do a search, you will find several DFW / Dallas / Fort Worth threads.

I'm south of Fort Worth and just heard about a group that meets once a month in Mansfield.

Where is the group in Mansfield?? That wouldn't be terrible as I'm there quite a bit!

I'll ask my friend. I'm pretty sure it's held at a church (though it isn't sponsored by the church).

I'll let you know!

Does anyone have any more specific info about the DFW groups? Plano is pretty far out of my way, so I am unlikely to attend. Mid Cities, Las Colinas, and Oak Lawn areas are where I gravitate towards regularly and would love to find something a little closer to one of those areas.

There is a monthly support group in Grapevine. First Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm at the Bessie Mitchell house. It is operated by the Baylor Weight Loss Surgery center but everyone is welcome. There is always a NUT at the meeting.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
