LOL! I know of Joshua and Snyder, though I've never been to either! I'm a small town girl, too. Grew up in Muenster, now live in Denton. After the house get built, I'll be living in Mountain Springs, I don't think it's even on the map, LOL!!!

William,

I use Dr. Curtis Mosier in Denton, TX He is awesome. He banded me Nov 22. He has a lot of experience with the lap band. I am a nurse in Denton, so I have known him for almost 20 years (yikes, that makes me sound old!) He is in the phone book. Check him out!

Hi everyone, I am in Cleburne. I was banded in November and My surgery was done by Dr. Powel in Richardson with follow ups with Dr. Maese. I have lost 30 pounds so far.

Can you describe your pain? Where is it located and how would you describe how it feels? When do you hurt...all the time, right after eating, doing a certain movement, etc.? Have you had a fill yet? If so, how long ago?

Hi there...I'm new to the lapband discussion. I'm still in research mode. I live in Frisco, work in Plano. I'm 48 female, 203-210 pounds, 5'4" tall. My question is around qualifying...I'm considered obese, but not at the BMI to qualify. I've tried every diet on the planet, work out on a semi-regular basis at Curves, to no avail. If I'm a self-pay, is there a problem getting a good doctor in Dallas? I'd love your counsel on this since I'm a newbee...Thanks! Patti

I have pain after I swallow something...even Water. I am going in today to have some removed. It hurts in my chest. it feels like air wants to come up and it is blocking anything that wants to go down and so it just gets stuck.?. I have just had my second fill last week.

thanks!!!

Hey Patti, there are lots of good docs in your area (I used to live in Carrollton!) Just give these guys a second and they'll start speaking up...I think you posted an intro? If I remember, anyway, just what is your BMI? Have you considered Mexico, sometimes the docs there will do "Low BMI" patients unlike the US. Not sure about the cutoff numbers, just know I qualify. Anyone else? Welcome and good luck!

Thanks for your thoughts...my BMI is around 35 without any health problems related to diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I'll probably end up self-pay because of that. I'm ok with that though...I'm just sick of being heavier than I should be. 205 pounds, 5'4" tall...Heaviest I've ever been (even when I was pregnant!)

Anybody aware of any lapband presentations happening anytime soon in DFW? I know they advertise them all the time in the newspaper but I haven't checked recently.

Any help would be much appreciated.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
