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.

      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.
