Thought I would see how many of us are from this area. When are we going to get together?

Good luck to you! I was banded on 6/23 and feel absolutely wonderful. The first couple of days were rough but now almost 3 weeks later -- wow! what a difference. Welcome to the "band"wagon.

Bronson,

I just read your other thread. I am so happy you chose the band!! You won't regret it! I don't!

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.

I'm from McKinney, Texas

McKinney here too..

All is well. I am 15 days post op and have lost a little over 13 pounds so far. I iwll continue to post my progress. Thanks again for all the support...

NeeCee here..... I am in Ferris...would love to be at a get together when you get one going!!!!!!!!

McKinney here too! It is getting to be quite the "big city" around here!

Dang - I'm just in Lil' Ol' Allen... But I'm still in the North 40...

Rene, have you been banded yet? I am still working out all the details but supposedly have insurance approval.

I am working with Dr. Benavides' office. They tell me that they do surgery on Mondays in Decatur (west of Denton) which is 60 miles from me. What a pain!

There seem to be plenty of people close by to us.

No Band, yet. I am still waiting for the letter from my doctor - she has taken 3 weeks! - but I expect to have that by Friday. Then everything has to be submitted to my insurance company. I am using Doctor Fox. He is the only doc in the Surgery Center of Richardson who takes Blue Cross. (I work in Addison - so its on the flight path).

I think my procedure will take place at RHD - since Blue Cross will only pay if the procedure is performed at a hospital. I was bummed. The SCR does it as a day surgery in their clinic on Coit just south of Arapaho. I was hoping for that.

Mesquite pre-bander here. Dr. Benavides.
