I had surgery in May. It was $9,990. I was honest with them and told them I was planning on going to Mexico if I couldn't get it for under $10,000 here. I don't know if they were running a promotion at that time or just gave me the $9,990 price, but it can be done.

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know.

Pat,

I am so sorry if I hurt your feelings. Please don't ever hide or feel ashamed! Remember, I have been there/done that. If I fuss at you are anyone, it is only that I want you to be successful! I know it is a hike to get to aftercare, how about the other locations?

There is a lunch in Plano on a Saturday,

A diiner in Dallas,

A dinner in Arlington

Any of those work for you?

Please again, accept my apology. only want the best for you!

I called Hope on Friday to schedule my last "free" fill before my 6 month bandiversary but never got a call back. Is there a number that I can call Monday morning to make that appointment? Also want to schedule my 6 month check....is that with the nutritionist, doc, nurse??? Not sure what to do from this point on....

Thanks for any guidance....

Cynthia,

When are Saturday groups held? I live in Waco and currently work night shifts so weekday meetings are out for me. Saturdays would be great because then I could make a day of it being that I would have to drive about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to get there.

Thanks,

Stephanie

The lunches are on the first Saturday of the month (every month) at 2pm at Aparicios in Plano, Tx. You can google it, but it is on 18th Street off of I75. Please come!

Finally, I am 2 days away from my first fill. I was just wondering if anyone ate anything before. My appt is at 11 so I didn't know if I should just plan on doing liquids that whole day.

Thanks for the advice!

Hi Shannon,

As I recall, they ask that you not eat anything the day of your fill, then go back to a liquid diet for 24-48 hours after your fill. Hope this is a good fill for you! I go for my 4th fill Thursday. This will be my last free fill, so I hope it's that "sweet spot" everyone talks about. My loss has been VERY slow, even though I can't eat much and try to eat the right things. Good luck to you!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
