I have tons of questions, but the first one is: Is it Ok to bring kids to dinner? If not maybe I can make some arrangement for babysitting. Looking foward to meet you... :hungry:

Hi Jay!

Pappas is definitely a family restaurant, so I think kids would be welcome. So far none of us has any young ones to bring, so we've been kidless, but I think it would be ok for you to bring them.

One thing to note, we do get pretty graphic (gross) with our discussions about banded life. It could be shocking, depending on the kid.

I'm glad you're going to come! :)

Looking forward to meeting you!

What a happy, friendly group of people! I can't wait.

I looked at the menu to see what was there and would go down well. I am still at an experimentation stage. My band is fickle. I don't care - it is working for me and I am happy.

Hey Janet, did Divanita send her after picture to you, also? She really needs to put it in the Before and After thread.

Hi, y'all!

Loved being with the gang again! YeeHa!

I'm still fighting a really bad sinus infection. Thanks for posting the pics, Janet! I'll try to make it on 3/24; will be in DC that week.

I wanted to bump this thread back up to the top for all of the bandsters that are in the DFW area. We will be getting together on Saturday, the 24th of March, at Pappas BBQ. We aren't a formal group, just a bunch of folks that have similar goals. The food at Pappas' is great! But the best part is the people we get to meet and visit with. So everyone that wants, come on out for a while.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
