I just found this site over the weekend and all I can say is I LOVE IT. I think all I've done all weekend is look around and I've learned so many things.

I'm from TX, the Dallas area. I'm 32 years old - been married for 10 1/2 years and have one 14 month old baby boy. Our son is the joy of our life.

I'm really excited to get to talk to everyone out there...

Have a great week! :)

Hi there fellow Dallasites! I actually live in Terrell and work in Plano. I am just about done gathering my information for the insurance company and it will be submitted on Weds this week and then I begin the waiting game! You will love this site!!

Hello all. I'm also new from Texas and I have a 20 month old boy and a 4 year old girl. I live in Bedford (mid-cities between Dallas and Ft. Worth). I was banded last Thursday, 4/12/07. So far, it's been really really difficult to drink anything. Even when I just drink a sip of Water (like a teaspoon), I feel a really heavy painful sensation like I need to burp. When I finally burb, it's better. I was told I need to be drinking at least 64 oz. of liquid a day. There's no way I've been able to do that. I'm amazed at all these posts that say people aren't losing weight. How in the world can you even eat?!?

Can't wait to be banded...... From the DFW area, I had my consult in early February with Dr. Adam Smith, had my phyc eval and nutrition visit. I am waiting to hear from the doctor's office as to what the next step is, when they will submit to insurace company etc. I have Great-West Healthcare - anyone with any experience with them? Anyway, just can't wait until I have my surgury scheduled - at that point I will feel that I am actually doing something. How long does it generally take once you have submitted that to the office??? Any ideas? Sorry to have so many questions, but just feel that I am out here in space by my self! :)

Since my address is actually Quinlan, does that make me a Quinlanonian, or a Quinlanite? :rolleyes:

There are a LOT of DFW folks around here, but not many out our way, that I've seen anyway.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
