Hello!

My name is Morganne and I am a little over 6 months post sleeve surgery. I am very pleased with my results and love my new life. I know this is very challenging once you get past that 6 month point. food seems to go down easier, you tend to be able to eat a little more, and food choices test you daily.

I am looking to start a support group in my area. I am hoping to meet new people on here and once we have a group going, plan a meeting so we can all help each other out. I have NEVER in my life done something like this but I can tell that "normal" people JUST DON'T GET IT!

My Dad had the surgery right after me and I am trying to get him interested in meeting with a group of people too. I was thinking a local Starbucks or something? I am open to discussion and would love to hear from people in my area. Once I get to know everyone, I will be more than happy to open my home for monthly group meetings. I think it would AWESOME to share recipes and even cook dinner at my house as a group.

I hope to hear from someone :)

Hi morganne!

I am in north Fort Worth, though Denton is not far from me, I do not make it there often, so not sure how committed I could be. I hope that you get a good response the same. It sounds like a wonderful idea.

I love the idea! I'm just down the road in HV/FM. I had my surgery five weeks ago at Baylor Grapevine, and though I attended the hospital-based support group, I didn't find it as supportive as I did informational. I know there is a group of DFW sleevers that meet regularly, but I think they're kind of from all over and they meet all over. Please keep me in the loop.

I am looking for other women who can relate to me. I am a mom and a teacher and stay busy! I know that this is a struggle everyday. I think it would be awesome to make some new friends and watch each other transform. I really don't need to be informed like the support groups I have heard about. I want to build friendships with people who I can randomly text if I am falling off the wagon and have someone pick me up! lol My husband can't listen to it all the time! Lets give this forum a few weeks and see if we can get a response and find a good time to all meet.

I am scheduled for surgery February 10. I live in the FM/HV area. Would like to hook up with a support group. Do you know of any that allow men to join?

David -- best of luck on your upcoming surgery! I had surgery seven weeks ago at Baylor GV, and they have a monthly support group meetings open to both men and women. I know there are many other support groups in the area, but I've not attended any others. I hear there's a good patient-led one in Frisco. Maybe someone will pop in with specifics.

I found the info on another Dallas thread:

THINspirations Weight Loss Surgery Support Group

THINspirations is one of DFW's only patient-led support groups. We meet the 3rd Saturday of each month in the Plano/Frisco area. We used to meet at Season's 52 restaurant, but that is changing effective January 2014.

In the 11 months that THINspirations has been around its members have lost well over 2,000 pounds and counting as a result of WLS and hard work! The comraderie and friendships that have come from this group are nothing short of amazing as many of our members can attest. In addition to our monthly meetings, there are social events, walking groups and so much more.

Wanna be a part of what every other WLS patient is talking about? Email me, Kevin, at kev.lev@tx.rr.com to get on our mailing list and be a part of the success that is THINspirations!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
