Any Bandsters from Katy, TX?



Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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.

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!

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?

Not in Katy but in New Territory, if something gets going I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks,

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.

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

      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.
