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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
