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!

Hello, I'm in Spring, work near Atascocita and go downtown for church, so I'm a little everywhere. I would love to join the group for support. Like Miss Cherita, I don't have the support because I choose not to tell anyone about my journey with the lap-band besides my boyfriend. I feel a like I've come to a standstill with my weight and still have about 40lbs to lose.

I live in West Houston near Katy. My file should be submitted to insurance for approval this coming week. I'm hoping for a surgery date in late mid April or early May.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
