Need A Buddy .. Texas Here



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm in the Katy area. A friend of mine was just banded & started a group on here (Katy area banders)

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/groups/show/115-katy-area-banders/

I think she wants to do local support group meetings/ hang out & visit with other banders on this side of Houston, if anyone is interested. She just started the group a couple of days ago.

I haven't posted in a while. Been struggling with emotional eating. I have however still been losing a little. I might have a leaky band, just don't know yet. We will measure again in January to see if the band is keeping the Fluid. I have been off by 1cc the last two times she checked the fluid, so my band threshold might be 5.2cc :( I am praying that it was just a fluke. I really could use some girl time with some of my banded sisters.

Hello Amber don't feel alone....I have struggled the same way as well....I went got my 3rd fill on this past Thursday....hopefully I will lose about 8lbs this month. I struggle a lot around my cycle time.....I have these crazy craving but I am hoping this month is better since I just got my fill....I tried to eat a scrambled egg to and that experience was horrible....so now I have to "x" them off my list.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
