So we all want to meet... that is great!!!

How about after the holidays to get ourselves on check and maybe even set some goals that we can help eachother achieve =)

Can anyone think of a good, quiet location that we can meet at? maybe someplace where they won't kick us out if we chat for too long =)

How does Saturday, January 18th sound? Maybe 10am for a brunch?

Please let me know and send me some suggestions on a location or if you want to change the time and day.

Hope to meet as many of you as possible... I need as much support as I can =)

Hello, I'm new to the boards but I am from Houston! Northwest near Cypress to be exact! Looking forward to meet you all, I am still in the process PRE OP, on Monday I have my last dietitian consultation! I want to be banded asap but I have had some complication choosing doctors that are on Tricare's network. It is being sorted out though, although now the surgery date won't be as close as I thought and wanted to. Nice meeting you all!

Hi All-

I was banded 4 days ago by Dr. Hollis as well, things are going great so far (fingers crossed) Would be fantastic if we could get together and share our experience(s). I live on the southwest side of town close to the medical center. January 18 sounds good to me. Maybe meet somewhere close to galleria area as that is central-ish?

Hi Everyone... so far I have two people and myself wanting to meet... TXPrime says Galleria... which is a great location. so how about Jan 15th at the Starbucks on Westheimer and Post Oak? say noon? We can then decide where to go from there... there is a Soup and salad place on Westheimer and Hillcroft... maybe we can have lunch there? Just a thought...

Here is my cell phone: 713-385-5487 call me if you want to confirm... also... I was thinking of making a little questionaire up before the meeting.... that way we can all have a small bio-page. Let me know if you guys are interested and I will whip something up =)

Just send me your email address and I will send out the form.

I am SOOO excited and can't wait to meet everyone... we need all the support possible.

Moni

I am in League City and was banded 12/30. Southeast Memorial Hermann has a support group that meets the third Wednesday of the month.

You can find a group on their website

Hopefully there is one near you. And you don't have to have been banded there. At least that is what I understand.

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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
