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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
