  5. WOW....I have not been mentally ready for plastics....I will only need a TT but I had a horendous recovery from my sleeve in 2011...I am happy you have your husband to help you.
  6. Just had a glass....first in 2 years...it was soooo good!
  7. Try University General Hospital or Memorial Herman
  8. HEY JUST ATE AT BENJIS IN HOUSTON AND THEY HAVE THE $3.50 SPLIT FEE ON THE MENU!! I DID NOT ORDER AT ALL....JUST WATER AND A FEW BITES OFF OF MY SONS PLATES...THIS IS SO WRONG!!
  9. Thank you for that post. I love being a comfortable size 12 also!
  10. Thank you for this information Will keep it close by to help keep me on check!
  11. Clear Lake checking in and had surgery March 2011. Down 101 lbs. Dr. Marvin at UGH did my procedure
  12. Wow! That is so inspiring!!! I am so happy you have that kind of love & support.
  13. Girl get on the train & go to Brooklyn! Lots of docs in BK Heights...glad u can move forward!
  14. Awesome post. Thanks for the reality check! I am 18 months out & needed to hear that. You are a success!!!
  15. I totally do this.....I go to HEB Central Market and try samples....they will even let u try differnt fruit & organic drinks & smoothies.....i see nothing wrong as i do purchase other items there
  16. I love the banana flavor!!!!
  17. Dr. Robert Marvin @ University General Hospital in Houston he was also on the show Heavy. Great staff, very patient & knowlegable. I love him because you wll know that he will take care of you!
  18. I know people treat me differently...try being a morbidly obesse african american & see how people ignore or look right through you. I work for a University and for 6 years most faculty NEVER ADRESSED me directly or by name. Now 15 months after surgery i am in awe at how many not only knew my name but some how i am worthy of their conversation! I am proud of what i did for me...anyone else hangups or weirdness will not disturbe my vsg groove!!!
  19. I slept in an upright position for a few weeks. We have a huge bed so i got in knee first (still do) and then poistioned myself with my 4 king size pillows...slept like a baby!!
  20. I had bloodless vsg here in Houston w Dr. Marvin..yes a surgeon must be trained in this technique, aware of the alternative treatments if something goes wrong, and the hospital should be equiped with things like cell savers. I also started a regiment of EPO months before surgery to build my blood count. Very important that the anethesiologist (not sure if i spelled wrong) is aware of your wishes.
  21. Ladies a bra is part of your foundation. It can make you look lumpy or saggy. Might I suggest going bra shopping with a friend at a buy one get one sale or 2 for sale. Dillards in Houston has a brand called Modern Movement it has a little padding if your girls get perky at inoppurtune times. It is the best t-shirt bra ever..and i get more women complementing me and asking about the type of bra i wear.
  22. Ok i just go for the real deal if the urge hits. "HAAGEN DAS" Carmel Cone Exposion. Thankfully i have never been a big sweet eater but that is the best ever!!!!
