Hi,

I live in Denton but haven't been banded as of yet.

I went to Dr.Benavides seminar this past Thursday and signed up to get the ball rolling for a Feb 1st initial consultation. My doc originally directed me towards Dr.Marsden but I found the website both these doc's 'share' and attended the seminar hosted by Dr. B and figured i'd just go with him.

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this one because of a prior commitent but hopefully I can attend another in the near future.

Hey everyone: We had a medical emergency in my family and I will be flying to Michigan tomorrow (Wed. morning). My sister's son, who is 21 collapsed while exercising and is in a heart unit in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They have stabilized his heart (don't know why this happened) but are concerned about brain damage due to lack of oxygen.

Therefore, I will not be at the Denton Bandster dinner on Thursday night, but Richard, a newbie bandster will be there, along with others. Just go in and ask/look for the Denton bandsters. Ya'll can discuss things, get to know each other and plan on time for next month. I'm sorry that I will miss this first one that I organized, but my family needs me and I need to be with them.

Have fun!!

Billy, the manager is very nice and expecting ya'll!! So, everyone, have fun!! My nephew is holding on and in God's hands. We are praying for a total healing of his body. If you believe in the power of prayer, pray with us for Brian!! Thanks!!

Brown sweater and blue jeans, blondish hair with brown glasses.

I know you, Jules, so at least we'll recognize each other! They don't make reservations, but the manager is expecting our group. He knows some lapbanders are meeting there.

See you tonite!

Update: Right now, it is sleet/snowing up here, north of Denton. If this continues, I will not drive down to Denton (I am a big chicken on slick roads). I just wanted to let you guys know this...please post on this thread if there are any other updates...

Hey guys! Just checking in from Michigan where it's been snowing all day and in the low teens. Just spoke with Richard and he said that it is not slick in Denton and not supposed to be. It's snowing but so far all is well. Maybe the "bad stuff" is staying up north of Denton by you Cindy....sorry....check weather/traffic report everyone and BE CAREFUL!!

My nephew has woken up and is slowly talking and starting to recognize people. He said my name loud and clear...probably the clearest of anything he has said. I'm happy about that!! Please keep praying that he will recover TOTALLY and have full function of his brain. Still don't know why his heart stopped. Tests not showing anything.

You can look at a video regarding the 2 gals who found him and did cpr on this link:

Just a quick note before the dinner. It's snowing and sticking to cars and grass, but the temps are not supposed to go to freezing tonight, and the streets are only wet. I'll be there. I hope to see you.

      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... :(
