We still have our meetings in Pasadena off the Beltway and Fairmont. We've moved it over the last few months to inside Target at the Barnes & Noble Cafe. Our meeting time is still 6PM every Thursday. There is also a new group that meets on Saturdays in Alvin once a month. I think the next meeting will be next Saturday, 10/20, at 1:30PM. They are having their 3rd meeting. They were meeting at the Chillis but I believe they have moved this months to a different location. If you are intersted in the Alvin I can find out the location.

Also, what does SAHM stand for?

In Pasadena we have group members who bring their children sometimes with no problem. The only problem is for the kids, they might get bored. We all love kids!

Do you know when the next meeting in Alvin will be? Is there an email address or something of someone that I can get in contact with?

Hello I am in League City I was banded by Dr Spivak on April 3 2007. I have a company in League City to. Is there anyone that goes to the meetings at Dr Spivak? I really need to get back to going. It is just so hard when I am always working. I know there is somewhere on here where people are trying to get a group together for the areas mentioned. Stacey:laugh:

Hello!

I live in Pearland (at the edge of Friendswood) and I was just banded in July by Dr. Spiegel. I am looking for a support group that is closer to this area. I work full time and got to school most nights so I can't make it to any scheduled ones with Dr. Spiegel for now.

I work in Clear Lake and have been in the area for years! I am just looking for someone else I can talk to! :cursing:

Thanks!

I live in League City and was banded by Dr. Ferrari at Memorial City. I've been looking for a local support group. Did you ever form or find one?

Hello all! This is space guy.... I was banded with a realize band on 12/30/08. Getting ready for a new life! My doctor is Dr. Michael Story, and he is over on FM1959(Dixie Farm Rd.) at Hwy. 3. He has been doing the surgery for quite some time, and, I HIGHLY recommend him! The surgery was performed at the Doctors Outpatient Hospital in Pasadena, and, I can say that they are the best! I guess for me, the hardest part so far is the full liquids, and having my band tell me I am full... I received my first sense last night, with a bit of uncomfort in the upper stoma... As far as any other problems, I have had none, and am thankful for that. Anyway, glad to see an area for those of us down in the clear lake area... Good Luck to all!!

        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!

      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
