Hi everyone. I have been banded since 2006 but I starting over like I was banded yesterday since my origingal doc was fired a month aafter my surgery and was left all alone. Got a new doc this past Friday and he has given me some renewed hope. Would love some support from fellow banders. Started my liquid diet this weekend and it is a struggle but I am determined.

Hope to talk soon.

Lisa

welcome aboard! hope to see many post from you :teeth_smile:

im in dallas area too. who is your dr?

Gail

my doc works with yours I think it's dr benavides lap band solutions!

Small world, I'm in the Dallas area too (Keller).

I went through Lap Band solutions as well and had my surgery in Hurst.

It's been about 9 months since surgery and I've lost about 55 lbs. A bit slower than some, but, I'm happy so far. I've recently kicked up the exercising ALOT, and that helps more than I imagined.

I hate doing it, but, feel so good when it's over

Good luck to you!

yes benevidas is with dr. felts

Dr Jay did mine. I think it was at Medical City in Dallas.

Hello -

Dr. Benevides performed my surgery and Mr, Maese takes care of my fills. It is good to see some folks from Dallas.

I am in Fort Worth and am having the band placed May 18th....I look forward to reading your posts on your journey - glad to know there are so many people in the metroplex visiting here to get input from....

Howdy! I'm in Garland. Dr. Jay did my surgery at the Prestonwood Surgery Center in Plano. Good to see so many folks in the area.

Hi Lisa!!! This website will definitely be very supportive.

Congrats for getting back to it and starting all over. Good luck with your liquid diet. How long do you have to be on one for? Since your band is already in place did you just go in and get a fill?

Hi Lisa,

What happened with your first band? Hope everythings goes well for you this time. Good Luck.

I am getting my band tomorrow and I'm really nervous. Didn't do to well on my pre op diet. My doctor is felts. Any last minute advice?
