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 :)

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!

Hello -

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

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?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
