Hey! Just looking for anyone in the DFW area being banded or already banded. My band date is 10-25-07 Dr.'s Smith & Ferrara. I scared but also can't wait.

I'm doing well. Have less fill than I had when I went in for a fill after one year. Couldn't tolerate it, so all's good, losing weight slowly with restriction at 2.2cc Hope your band is approved soon.

Hello all,

I was banded last Tuesday by Dr. Nick Nicholson in Plano and I am looking for a support group in Fort Worth so I won't have to travel to Plano each time!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated..........Thanks!!

hiiiiii....how are you doing on your weight loss? i was banded by Dr Adam Smith. Is your Dr in the same office as his off Forest Park Blvd?

Hi, We are neighbors. I live in Grand Praire. How do you like your band? I love mine so far. Was banded Aug. 4th. Had a rough time last week for 3 days, but great now.

hiiiiiiiiiii....how are you doing? have you got a surgery date yet? we have the same drs. i love dr smith and everyone in his office, especially shannon and suzee. keep me posted.

I was banded 8/15/08. I went through ivital, Dr. Cribbins. I paid cash, no insurance. I don't qualify, starting BMI 31.9. I am 32 yrs old, married with 2 kids. My daughter is 3, my son is 3 months. Anyone close by?

DFW has gotten mighty quiet out there! How is everyone doing? No problems, issues or concerns? Everyone still losing? I had my biggest month yet last month. 18 in one month. I am ripped! Ok, not really, but I am 18lbs lighter.

:thumbup:

Hi, I'm Sherri and I live in Waxahachie. I started this process back in March and may have spoken to a few of you back then. I had financing issues (insurance has exclusion) back then ,but I have the $$$ now.

I had bloodwork & EKG done with my pcp today and she's gonna send it to LBS tomorrow or Monday!

I am seeing Dr Benavides in Richardson...

Anyone here still attend the group at his office?

anyone interested in getting some lunch or coffee!!! I am having a hard time being motivated so i could use some local support. just let me know.....pm me and we can talk.

Hey, hey, hey, I am back on the band wagon !! Got rebanded on Monday, 9-15 and am feeling great. A little gas, but definitely not as bad as last time. Feel like I could go back to work, but hubby says, uh? NO. You took a week off, now use it to heal internally. Sometimes he is such a pain in the butt, but I know he loves me and he knows I tend to push stuff. He won't let me this time.

Hi everyone!

I'm glad I found this thread again - I'm in Keller and would love some local support as well.

Just a quick update on myself - I was banded about a year ago (Oct 07) - I have lost 65 lbs in the past 11 months. I had to be completely unfilled this past Friday due to my pouch stretching a bit. I hope to be refilled in 1 month. I hope everything is ok with my band because I really do love it. My band has helped me lose those 65 lbs, but we're not through yet!

Do ya'll ever meet for coffee, or anything like that?

It would be fun to meet everyone in person
