Looking for a Houston, texas group



Recommended Posts

Hi ladies anyone can set them up I think @fashionstylist setup the first one. I think due to the holidays everyone got a little busy. But I think the 1st of the year would be a great time for us all to get together. I'm located in the Champions areas and would love to meeting you all. I've been banded since 5/3/13 down 47lbs. It took me a couple of months to get to my sweet spot but i'm glad i'm finally there ;-)

For those of you who live on the north side of town, or those who don't mind traveling a bit, there is a support group that meets the first and 3rd Thursday of every month at Memorial Hermann in The Woodlands at 7pm in the conference center. The group is ran by the bariatric nurse there and its an awesome group of people. We often have guest speakers, which is very informative. Last time we had a representative from Celebrate Vitamins, the time before that, was a personal trainer, sometimes one of the bariatric doctors will come in and discuss any concerns or questions the group may have. I go to almost every meeting, depending on work. It's not just for banded patients either, its for all bariatric patients.

I am looking for a doctor to do fills here in Houston. I was banded by Dr. Spivak, who moved to Israel. It's hard to find a doctor who will do fills on someone that they didn't band. Dr. Spivak referred all patients to Scarborough/Yu, but it's really hard to get an appointment and not much in the way of support. I was totally unfilled back in May 2013 and have gained back about 40lbs! I hate the thought of being restricted and miserable again, but can't seem to lose the weight on my own. Any suggestions for a good doctor would be greatly appreciated! Thanks:)

Well that was nice of him just to move to Israel. I can say that my doctor doesn't do my fills. I go through true results. I'm not sure if they do patients they haven't seen but I wouldn't see the problem. Maybe you can give them a call and just ask if they can.

I go to True Results on Main Street in Houston. Quick/Easy appointments and pretty sure that they would be able to work with you. Give them a call to discuss/schedule an appointment.

Thanks for the help. I called True Results today. I have to become an official patient of one of their surgeons and then they can do my fills. I'm waiting to hear from Dr. Hollis' office to find out what that entails. Thanks again!

Thanks Meli... it went great.... I am so much more at ease about my progress ... Nurse Connie is the best... everything that I had anxiety about or paranoid about was shot down by her with facts and education... I am so relieved... I am going back on Jan 29th

      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.
