hey!

Hey everyone i just noticed that there is texas forum! Anyways just wanted to say Arlington texas here!!

Hi from Mesquite

Welcome to TMB, not much activity here but there is a few of us that post almost daily.

Don starts a thread M-F we call the WLS express to keep up with what is going on in our lives, provide support when needed etc. Feel free to join in.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome to the Texas forum. It is as Saundra said...kind of slow here. Used to be hopping, then everyone went to Facebook and they don't come on here much.

If you have any questions or concerns about weight loss surgery, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Molly! Welcome to our TMB (Tx Message Board) family.

As SAUNDRA and KARLA said, we are small in numbers, but heavy in support and love. I dare ALL the state board have dwindled dramatically, with the birth of FB...BUT if not for the TMB, probably 99% of us would never have met (most of us know each other IRL, and YOU will ne next), and we have made lifelong friendships, that began right HERE..I am SO glad you found us!

VIVIAN used Dr Kim, and is active in his support group, etc, so I'm sure she will be chiming in about him, and those activities, etc.

I'm GINA..11 yrs post RNY..I live in Joshua..just south of Ft Worth-so, obviously I'm close to Arlington. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet you, IRL. Of all the "components", of this journey..and it IS a lifelong journey...I truly, truly believe the MOST important one is SUPPORT. Your family and friends can love you to pieces, but, unless they have walked in your shoes...and had their guts rearranged..they just cannot totally understand...

As my TMB SISTERS said (like I said-it's a FAMILY here)..check out the "Express" posts-I just started the one for the weekend..that's the quickest way to get to know everyone, and let us get to know you-Don't be shy!!!

Can't wait to get to know you!

 

Hey, Molly! I'm in Grand Prairie (see me waving at you???) LOL! Welcome to the board!

Greetings from Cedar Creek Lake or East Texas depending on which I'm facing!

Welcome Molly,

I am Vivian that Gina was speaking of.   I had RNY with Dr. Kim going on 8 yrs. ago.   Are you still pre op?   He is a amazing and very caring surgeon and doctor.   I LOVE him  and his staff !!!  Amazing people.     He has a monthly support group that meets the first wednesday of each month...we also have a support breakfast once a month and I lead a Obestiy Help Support Group that meets the first sunday of each month ( meeting this coming sunday in Keller ).   You are welcome to come to it if you like.   If you have any questions about Dr. Kim I can probably answer some questions for you.    You need to tell  us more about yourself.   In the mean time...welcome to the TMB !!!

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
