    I used to live in El Paso. Different time zone. Different climate. More like living in New Mexico. Loved the mountains, but missed all the rain and snow normally in Missouri.

    Really, Buzz, you're waiting 'til August to see what part of Texas you want to live in? Are you insane? You move to Texas in the winter so that by the time summer rolls around it's too much trouble to

I got hair extensions shortly after my surgery. Until I had them removed for my neck/facelift 11 days ago, I was doing all kinds of hair!?

Showoff! LOL!

Well Metroplex People, my OSU Buckeyes are invading Arlington to play the Horned frogs of TCU. 6 MINUTES UNTIL GAME TIME.!? Let the FUN begin!?

Hi DFW peeps! Any of you have experience with Dr. John Alexander?

I've looked on several forums and find old reviews, from 2011 or 2013 and older. Odd.

Just curious? Thanks!

I had a consult with him years before that, like 2005-ish, maybe. I didn’t use him because I wasn’t feeling it. I understand he has a very good surgical reputation. He was very experienced back then and referred because he was one of THE lap band guys when it was pretty new. I’d imagine, at this point, his level of experience in all areas has only increased immensely. I didn’t happen to like him. I was also a lot younger than I am now and thought that had some correlation to whether or not he was a skilled surgeon. One has nothing to do with the other.

Yes he did my surgery last month. You can personal box me and I’ll be happy to chat with you.

Awesome, thanks Ellie! I just messaged you!
