Anyone in Houston getting banded or has been banded? I really do enjoy the msg. boards BUT sometimes I don't have time to read and reply everyday. I was trying to start a group of people getting banded or banded in the Houston area. Where we could all meet up and have each other as support through our process. Some people have tons of support and friends to help along the way, where I personally don't! So if anyone in intrested reply and if not just tell somebody.. ANYBODY IN HOUSTON! Thanks!

I cant eat nor drink in the morning. My first meal is normally at 11 or 12. Drinking is hard for me also too early in the morning, My dr. told me the mornings are the worst. I guess im just used to it now.

I was 25. I got it Feb.23,2010

HELLO!!!!! Im Cherita I had my surgery 2/23/2010!! wohoooo ok. Down 60lbs new woredrobe and all BUT I still feel very large. Eventhough I know I have lost a good amount of weight I still have issues with the smaller me. I know that is backwards but I was just wondering if anyone else have issues with their new appearance similar to mine. Thanks!

Thanks for responding. I feel the exact same way in the mirror but more on pictures for some reason. My clothes are a lot smaller BUT I still feel like I'm still bigger. During my pre-op phase my Dr. did say counseling afterwards is a good idea, because of issues like that. I'm just glad to see I'm not alone.

I had my surgery in Feb 2010. I didnt start "LIKING" my band until July. I finally had restriction after 3 fills. Now im so in LOVE. Just hang in there it will get easier. In face I gained 15 pound when I came home from surgery.. all the fluids they give you in the hospital is the real reason you gain afterwards. Once your body gets used to this object in your body you will see results! TRUST ME.

HEY!!! Congrats.. Houston Area as well!! Keep up the good work!
