I had my surgery in Plano and there are support groups in that area. However, my husband and I share a car and Plano is a little too far for frequent trips.

I am interested in a local group in the Irving/Dallas side of DFW. I have a friend who is a therapist who had bypass done in 2002, and she would love to facilitate a support group. I just had lap-band this past November.

If interested just let me know, either here or by message!

Cheers.

So hard to get Texans together. I guess our state is just TOO big!

How is your band doing? Have you had a fill yet?

I would be interested in a support group in the Irving area

hi @@Dolores33778 - just had my 3rd fill. I think I am finally getting closer to green! I have "only" lost about 15 pounds, and that keeps fluctuating a bit. I know I shouldn't use "only" or "slow" or other ways of not recognizing progress, but it is hard not to sometimes! Having said that, I am still so glad I had the surgery and I am still really looking forward to the success that I know I will have. Even if it isn't tomorrow. My next fill is in February.

And yes! Our state is too big! I have noticed that seems to be hard to get DFW-ers (esp the Dallas side) together. I am really surprised by that since it is such a metropolitan area.

@@Redroses63 I let my friend know. She said we would need a minimum of 4-5 people to get a successful group going. I am still putting feelers out there. I live in South Irving and her office is on Preston Road in North Dallas, about 30 minutes from me, fyi. But that is still closer and a heck of a lot easier to get to than Plano!
