i am also new to texas (just moved here beginning of november) so i'm lost when driving.

hi hazelb,

actually i didnt go. i really wanted to see the cosmetic surgeon but i didnt feel like driving that far. last thursday night i went to see dr S and got lost coming home.

how was it?

actually there is a potential katy group starting from the other website "houston bandsters.com

it's a hard site to get around....doesnt have forums and topics like this one so it's hard (or maybe i'm missing something)

do you want me to forward the email to you or give the person organizing your email?

let me know. after this i will go on the site to see if i can find how to direct you to the girl

she is just trying to come up with sites to meet and days. it's 8 people so far

have a good night

joanne

Hi there, fellow Katyites!

I also live in Katy and would love to have a support group close to home, but... I am keeping my surgery *super-private. Only my husband knows.

So as much as I want to join you guys, I don't feel like I can right now. Maybe as time goes by, I'll ease up.

Can you keep posting your meeting times here so I can be included when ready?

*please note that I have decided to keep this private from friends and family because, mainly, my MIL has a very, very big mouth and tons of opinions... and I just can't handle being watched and having to endure comments fabout every bite of food and every ounce of weight for the rest of my life. Oh, and she also lives in Katy.

Does this group really meet at the coffeeshop? If not let's start a group starting next Thursday, May 30th. Anyone who is reading this can join us. We can meet whatever time most convenient to everyone. I work so it will have to be after 5 PM.

Is this group still meeting? I am strongly considering the band, but and new to all of this. I'd love to hear stories about how it is for everyone. I live in the Katy area and would love to meet with a group.

Live in Katy and I'm curious as to how many groups there are in Katy. I was just banded two days ago. I feel great but I'm scared to death about dehydration and eating to much. I've lived on sugar free popsicles and special k drink, sugar free Jello, broth and good ol H2O..

I'm open to any and all advice. I had it done at North Cypress Medical Center.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
