MistyD65 1 Posted July 8, 2008 I'm in Katy and am scheduled to be banded on August 4th by Dr. Ricardo Bonnor at Memorial Hermann Memorial City hospital. I see this thread hasn't been posted to in a while...did you all ever meet up? I'd be interested in a get-together. I'm going to be looking for all the support and help I can get! :biggrin: Misty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blr 0 Posted July 8, 2008 I not for sure if anyone meet up or not. Good luck on your surgery. I had mine june 07. I have lost 73 pds. My doctor retired shortly after I had my surgery so it took awhile for me to find another dr to take me on. finally found one 4 months ago. If you have any question feel free to ask me anything.

Duckieduck 0 Posted July 9, 2008 Hi Misty: Unfortunately I did not hear from anyone to start meeting in Katy. I hope you have better luck than I did with the surgery. It was a year in June that I had my surgery ....lost only 23 lbs. My doctor, Dr Spivak was very encouraging at first then by the time it was 6 months he kept asking me if the year was over with so he could collect his $100 for fills. Many of my concerns and problems were answered differently by him and his staff. I quickly lost faith in him. Now I am on my own with this. I have not lost any weight but I have not gained any either which I think is great on its own. I am searching for a new doctor to at least get my fills with. Please keep in touch with me and let me know how your doctor is helping you. Goodluck. Duckieduck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sassytracy 0 Posted July 9, 2008 I live in Cinco Ranch too. I would love to join the support group. I haven't had my surgery yet, but hopefully my insurance will approve it within the next week or so and I will be another successful Bandster... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandrab 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Hello! I am having my surgery tomorrow, July 21 and would love to meet w/a group. I live in the Copperfield area and work in Katy. Any ideas? Sandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmhastings 0 Posted July 26, 2008 I had heard of a group that meets at the Starbucks on Fry and Kingsland Blvd. but I'm not real sure if they are still meeting. They were supposed to meet last Sunday but postponed it till this Sunday. I say if there are enough of us on this site that live in Katy we should try and start one ourselves. Respond if you are interested in starting up a group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandrab 0 Posted July 26, 2008 Hey Km...........I just had my surgery last week and seem to be healing nicely. Have you been banded? Sandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyD65 1 Posted July 27, 2008 I'd certainly be interested in meeting with other Katy bandsters. Sunday would be ok with me, as long as it's late afternoon/early evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyD65 1 Posted December 14, 2009 Hi Katy bandsters! This thread has been quiet for quite a while. Let's check in! Banded 8/08 by Dr. Bonnor, I've lost 88 pounds. I should be past the 100 mark by now, but I've fallen back into some bad habits (eating out of boredom, stress, etc. instead of when hungry). I'm planning to get myself back in gear this week, to continue this wonderful thing I'm doing for myself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nichelle71 0 Posted December 21, 2009 I say we start the group back up. I'm to be banded by Dr Brad Snyder of UT MIST in the galleria/bellaire area. I live in Katy and would love to meet up with other bandsters out here :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kendall30 1 Posted December 27, 2009 I would love to join, also. I was banded by Dr. Spivak in April. I've recently had two unfills and need major motivation and support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
