Any Peeps In The Se Houston Area? Support Group?



Recommended Posts

I dunno if there is another area for this. It is all coming at me so quick. I am in League City, Tx, just south of Houston about 20 minutes. Having surgery at Memorial Hermann SE.

I have, of course been watching many a you tube video and one in particular says it is super important to have persons around you in the same boat to keep you on your toes.

I am approved and awaiting my July date exactly. Anyone interested in maybe creating a FB page for SE Houston bandsters? Maybe some coffee/tea somewhere and then a phone support system after?

Did everyone that went to Dr.Hollis go through True Results? My surgery isn't at SE memorial it's at the out patient center on Main. I think.....

I am not too far from League City would love to join a Facebook group or in person group. I did this with people I met her 3 years ago and it was great! My e-mail is crodriguez17@comcast.net. My only suggestion is meet at a public place until you get to know your new friends. We started out at Starbucks and then after we all knew each other we met at peoples homes.

I think it all depends on our insurance.

I went directly through True Results, on Main, because my insurance doesn't cover WLS, so it was cheaper for me to go to TR than to go directly to Dr Hollis. Many times I've regretted that decision, as Dr Hollis is so much closer to me, but not sure he'd be able to take me now and have me pay the cash prices I pay at TR. it can be a pain to drive to True Results. When I signed up at TR they picked the surgeon, not me, so I guess that's my fault for not realizing that I should have asked for Dr Hollis, but at the time I didn't know that he was also an independent surgeon. Oh well.

i went through True Results on Main too, but my insurance required me to have the surgery at a facility that could offer in patient assuming i had complications so i had surgery at Memorial SE but i do all of my visits on Main near Reliant.........and Matilda i would love a group or just a couple of people to work out with but im too far from any of you guys and i preferto work out in the early morning

ok all the Hollis peeps here. The weekend is excruciating. The staff has been out until tomorrow-all are in CA for conference. When they gave you a date, how far along was it after you approval. I still need my EGD by Dr Hollis. Sure wish he could do that during surgery.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
