Hello! I am in League City and I used Dr Hollis as well. Trueresults does have a support group that meets once a month but I dont know of one in our immediate area. This was the contact info in the email I get every month regarding it:

Contact : Betrice to RSVP at 713-796-9666!!

I have never gone but whenever I go in for a fill I notice the signs and think that I should check it out. Then I forget all about it, LOL.

I'm the same way. If it isn't work that holds me back its usually just forgetfullness.

So you had Dr. Hollis as well? That's good to know!! When did you have your surgery and how has your progress been?

Dr. Hollis did my surgery back in March of 2008 and I've lost 108 lbs. went from 344 to 238 right now. I would have probably lost more but went on vacation and had unfill right around the hurricane and didn't get a fill for a few monthes. I just recently got back up to my 6cc's I was at before the Unfill. Its not hard to lose weight once you get it. your NRG level sky rockets and with ever pound lost you feel lighter. I started running/ walking etc... I was up to 14 miles a day. You'll see as time progresses. One recommendation I have is that don't just use any ole Protein mix. Go to the Vitamin shoppe or GNC or whatever place and get something called ISPOPURE. The best ISPOPURE mix is the fruit punch. Also if you want to avoid loose skin, some Amino acids (liquid) this helps with the elesticity of the skin and makes it look nicer.

Yes, I was banded a week ago today! Doing well! I do miss eating food, one more week before that! I feel almost 100% myself again. Just waiting for this weight to start dropping off.

start walking, walk walk walk. it helps with the referred pain and gets rid of the gasseous feeling. I was up to 15 miles of walking a day before I started running. Find a good pair of shoes with good soles. After a few monthes they probably won't fit any more. I went from wearing a 14 wide to now wearing a 13 ½ amazing you get so big even your feet were fat.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
