Hey there,

I am from Waco. Had my surgery on June 30th. I have lost about 23 lbs so far. I don't find many people from this area even though I know there has to be some out there somewhere. Would love to have some local for support.

I had my surgery in Dallas and trying to get there for a support group meeting, with my schedule, has been hard. It is bad enough taking a 1 1/2 to 2 hr drive for a 5-10 minute visit for a fill.

Please contact me sometime.

Best wishes on your journey,

Stephanie

Hi!

I live in Temple, had my surgery Aug. 05 @ KDH. The nurse just called about getting a support group together on Tuesdays, possibly the end of the month. I'm sure any lab band patients would be welcome. Much closer than Dallas!

Sorry it is taking me so long to post. For some reason my computer at home won't load the page anymore and I can only get on when I am at work.

You can reach me at smarquezrn@yahoo.com also.

Where are you getting your surgery done? Would love to have some local band buddies to chat with. Please keep in touch.

congrats on your upcoming surgery. If you need someone to talk to, email me at smarquezrn@yahoo.com. For whatever reason, I am not able to access this site on my home computer and it takes forever to load on the computer at work. Maybe it is due to the popularity of this site. Anyway, it would be nice to have a lapband buddy close to home. Keep in touch.

Hi waco banders

i'm still here if anyone wants to chat!!

At work at the moment, but I wanted to stop in to say Hello and wish everyone a Happy Holiday season.

My computer at home won't load this webpage for some reason so the only time I can check in is when I am working. You can write me at smarquezrn@yahoo.com if you want.

Anyway, talk to you later.

Hi daqui26,

:wink_smile: Happy New Year/new you to you !!

I hope the preop diet is going alright, I know the waiting for surgery is somewhat annoying but it is so worth it !!

I am right now graduated to purred food/ mushies (Yumm), and the band has really become a good buddy of mine.

It was the best desicion I have made for myself and I am glad I did it !! ...

If you like you can pm FKing70821@aol.com

Greetings Bea:wink_smile:

Hi daqui26,

I started out before prop diet at 264 lbs, but my highest ever was 287 lbs, have been yoyo dieting for over 17 years, (lost 20 gained 25 back and so on) on the day of surgery I had 255, so far I have lost 6 lbs, but I have not had a fill yet and I am walking every day. I am happy not to have gained any weight even tough the weight loss is slow.

The main thing is that you stick to the rules and the band will do its part.

Greetings :rolleyes2:Lulu66

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
