Hi Guys

We're down in Idabel (for those of you who have no reason to know where that is...and that is 97% of the population) thats in the south east corner, 20 minutes from Texas and 20 minutes from Arkansas)  Had my surgery in Dallas since that was the closest big city to us.

Did a revision from band (long, UGLY story there) to VSG on 7/28/10.

So far lost 24 lbs post op and looking forward to more going bye bye.

I have definately never heard of Idabel..
Welcome to the OK board.

Yes, welcome to our Oklahoma board!
Congrats on your recent surgery. Keep us updated on how you are doing!

Welcome to the Oklahoma group!!!!  I rate in the 3% who have not only heard of Idabel, but been there!!!  Beautiful section of the state!  Congrats on your revision.  We look forward to hearing a lot from you, now that you've found us.

Yep, heard of Idbel....mostly when Gary England is talking about tornados and bad weather! LOL  Congratulations on your new sleeve!!  More weight will fall off...just work that tool.

We've been to Idabel! We hang out at Lake Texoma a lot, so you're near the Red River, also.

Too bad about the bad band experience, but I think you'll love your sleeve. Mine is great. Every so often, I hit a small stall & think the weight loss is over. In a week or so it starts dropping off again.

Best wishes on this journey. You'll have to keep us updated on your corner of the state.

Hey Schwartz Family. I go to Idabel every 3 weeks. I will be going next week. Welcome to OB. Congrats on getting your revision, sounds like this is a blessing that couldnt come too soon. Good luck on the rest of your weight loss.
