Houston Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

What happened to the Houston group that we created who met up in Memorial? It's like the people disappear after one visit. Would anyone like to meet up in Houston just to kick back and enjoy a nice New York Strip SteaK? :wub::thumbup:

Brian, I'm also getting banded by Dr. St. Laruent on January 6, 2009. How has your experience been since surgery? How much have you lost?

I highly reccomend Dr St Laurent.I had a person from work that reccomended him and he has lost over 100lbs.What I like about Dr St Laurent is that he visits with you on you're return visits.He has you do a test where he sees if you can eat 8 oinces of beef and doues you're adjustmens accordingly.Some of the other doctors just go by a barieum x ray and that isn't enough.I have had 2 fills and I feel like I am where I want to be.I have been trying to have the surgey for over 2 years but ran into problems because I am a heart patient.I have been very selective because of this and felt comfortable with him and had confidence in him with his background.My wife used another big name Dr and I am not happy with him and the follow ups she is receiving.I had my surgery done Sept 29 and have lost 28 lbs and lost 36 lbs since labor day.If you have any questions let me know and I will give you my email or phone number.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
