MizJudie 0 Posted August 14, 2006 Just wondering if there is anyone from the Katy area that has been banded. I saw the Woodlands support group and wondered if there were enough from the Katy area to form a support group. If there is a support group near here, please let me know. Thanks!

texasvixxen 0 Posted August 15, 2006 Hi Miz Judie! I was raised in Katy & hopefully will be moving back within the next couple of years. I currently live in far north east Richmond - so I'm not too far away. I hope there is a support group in Katy - I would come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TXSunflower 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Hi there, I'm in Katy off I-10 and Fry. I would love to be a part of a support group. I am going for my first consultation on Thursday and waiting for insurance approval. Lori Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen H 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Guess you could say I am in the Katy area... I-10 and 6; kids go to CFISD, don't forget my Sophomore Aggie, and I work off 529/Eldridge. Let's just say I (try to) stay away from Willowbrook Mall area and Katy Mills would be the first place to shop, see a flick, or just stroll around. Katy support group on the north side of 10 would be fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karen H 0 Posted September 20, 2006 read on, read on. There are alot of posts in LBT from folks who are shopping and have questions. I made my decision last April, couldn't get insurance to ok it, and it really freaked me out. Thought I just had to be a certain BMI to get approved. Long story short, cash patient and am extremely thrilled that I was able to have this surgery. All is going well-- and can't wait to PASS UP the *plateau* I usually hit-- around 20 lb loss. Once I hit 21 lbs gone-- the sky's the limit. Oh, and my first fill appt is in one week and one day (and 13 hours...), but who's counting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not in Katy but in New Territory, if something gets going I'd like to hear about it. Thanks, Jo Ann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizJudie 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Congrats Stacey! :clap2: I was banded on March 1st. It's been a little slower than I had thought but I've lost a little over 50 pounds now. I have a long way to go...but I've lost more in the last six months than I had in the last 6 years, so I'm thrilled with my progress. I know my progress has been hampered by not being able to exercise yet. I have plantar fasciitis and have a hard time walking...but it's getting better and hope to get the go ahead from my podiatrist this week to start walking/exercising. Then I know the pounds will come off a little faster. Just got to keep remembering: it is a tool, it is a tool, it is a tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redi 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Hi. I haven't been banded yet. Still trying to decide. I will be a self pay if I go this route. Does anyone have any experience with a Dr. Rincon in San Antonio? If I go with a doctor outside of Houston, does anyone know of a doctor here in Houston who will do my fills. Thanks. I've been reading here for a couple of months and find this website very informative. Redi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
