Houston area buddies/mentors...



Recommended Posts

Hi! I had my bypass surgery on 1/31/14 and I am feeling better now and ready to get this weight loss jump started!!! :)

I'm in Pearland and was wondering if there were some of you in the Greater Houston area that were looking for some weight loss buddies and what not?

Heck, even if you aren't in the area I'd love long distance buddies too. The more the merrier!!

Hi there...would like a support buddy too...I am originally from Corpus Christi but have been moving around the states because of my husband. As of right now We live in Corsicana, Tx but soon to move to Houston off of 290 freeway close to Willowbrook Mall. I had my surgery done in Ohio on September 9, 2013 and have had 4 stalls. At one time I gained ten pounds. But I am back to losing weight again by giving up on sugar and calories. My doctror told me just to lose 80% of my weight which is 200 lbs. But I want to get down to 180 lbs. So the sooner we move to Houston the better I can start to lose more pounds.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
