D/FW Area

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.

Baylor has one on March 10. My SO is a nurse at Baylor and the doctor's on their program are excellant. Already had Gall Bladder surgery through Dr. McCarty. Loved him and will have the lapband through him also.

I have been doing research for almost a year. I now have the paperwork in to the insurance company so I am just waiting for approval. Question on returning to work. I work in an office so it is easy work. How long before I will probably be able to go back to work? I had my gallbladder surgery on a Friday afternoon and went back on Monday. Any luck it will work the same way or close?

As you'll find out on this board, everyone is different...I had my surgery on a Friday and I returned to work on the following Tuesday. I could have gone in on Monday if I'd wanted to but I knew I had the day off so I took it. ;)

Good luck and let us know how everything goes!

I am in Flower Mound. Was banded Dec 2002 and have lost 80 pounds. I am almost to goal and looking at plastic surgery at this point. We have a support group that meets each 3rd Sunday at Mimi's in Grapevine at 6 pm, if anyone is interested. We are also trying to do some boot camp stuff but having a little difficulty getting it going since we are kind of spread out....

Did ya'll know there is an annual seminar/party for bandsters held each year here in Texas (there are others in other places). The one this year was last weekend and it was here in Dallas. They have classes by doctors, dietitians, psychologists, exercise physiologists, plastic surgeons, etc and other bandsters. PLUS lots of fun stuff. We usually get a little rowdy and drink too much but a good time is had by all. It is in April every year and you can always find out about it at www.texasbandsterbash.com

There is one in Las Vegas, Florida, Seattle, and Rosarita Beach, Mexica (Baja) but I haven't been to any of those....yet!

      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.
