I actually been throwing the idea around in my head of creating a meetup on meetup.com for Houston Area Sleevers....I'm already an organizer of a social group on there....but yes I dont mind chatting, or meetup up for lunch or something to talk! It would be the start of a great support team!

I was going to check meetup if I didn't find anyone here....I need additional support because my family isn't at all! I think even if we met once a month for coffee or dinner or a game night or something then that would be amazing. My surgery is scheduled on 3/1 but I want to build connections before hand...

Ok, cool beans! I understand the whole lack of family support....my family hasn't come out and said, NO! we are not going to support you! But everytime we have get togethers people ask me, are you sure you want to do this??which can also be frustrating...

There is already a houston sleevers group here on VST. It might be a good idea to go ahead and use what is here...the more we create groups the more I fear we lose people do to saturation of resources...just an opinion.

I was thinking about going something along the lines of activity days rather than a restaraunt. Like putt-putt or paintball or lasertag, or a guided nature walk or something like that...ghost tours, sandcastle contest in Galveston, anything really.

OMG! My sister got me an Xbox with kinect for christmas, and as soon as we get the redecorating done I an going to install it. This is so much fun! It is like Wii but nothing to hold and it is very accurate. I already do yoga and it is very fun with it, did boxing and kick boxing too! Dance off to The Black Eyed peas was great! I almost ripped out my stitches, but it was fun! I could have a kinect party!

I would love to start a group. I live in NW Houston. Just an FYI, I have been part of the Houston area group for awhile and we have never meet or made any plans to.

      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
