That sounds like a blast! My mom lives in Houston-maybe I can swing it. Depends on kids and school etc. Thanks!

Hello Willpower! I live in Little Elm. I substitute at Frisco ISD! What an awesome school district. I am waiting on approval, as well. Back in July, I learned about the lap band and have been jumping through hoops, crossing my T's and dotting my I's every since! Dr. Cribbon's office finally got enough info. to send the request to the insurance about two weeks ago. Good luck to you! Maybe we can meet sometime.

Guest Fighting for me

I am in Mansfield, TX. Researching the whole surgery process, trying to figure out if it is right for me. I will be a self pay. So trying not spend an arm and a leg. IF you guys ever get together here, please let me know.

Thanks for the welcome!..Call me Kate. I had my surgery in August. I started at 302 and am down to 264. Size 26 down to size 20. I am in no rush to lose as it took 15 years to gain. Besides, I am starting to get these strange wrinkly things...not sure I am thrilled about that...Plastic surgery anyone?

Anyway, I hope we can get find a way to get together somewhere in the DFW area...

Who is your surgeon?...I used Benevides with Maese for follow-up.

PS...the surgery is a breeze..I was in and out in 3 hours.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
