I am not too far from League City would love to join a Facebook group or in person group. I did this with people I met her 3 years ago and it was great! My e-mail is crodriguez17@comcast.net. My only suggestion is meet at a public place until you get to know your new friends. We started out at Starbucks and then after we all knew each other we met at peoples homes.

I live in SE Houston. My surgery was performed by Dr. Hollis in December at Southeast Memorial. I would also love to be apart of a support group!!!!!

I also live in southeast Houston.Dr.Hollis performedu surgery in May 2012 at Southeast Memorial.Im not looking for a support group!Wanted to know is anyone getting together to exercise.I would love to do somthing like that.

Had surgery yesterday morning. They also fixed a hernia. The gas is not too bad but I am having a lot of pain near an incision. It aches when I am sitting but if I move at all it feels like my insides are ripping. Did anyone else feel like that?

Your doctor told you no lifting,bending and stretching because of the stitches inside your tummy.If you do to much to soon those stitches will pop loose.Give your body time to heel,or it's gonna feel as if you pulled a nerve if a stitch comes loose.

Had the Lap Band with Plication this Tuesday and boy it has been rough but I know the best is yet to come!! The pain can come and go and I am not paying the pain any attention at all. I know the best is yet to come!!! Now if I can just walk to the bathroom with no help I have accomplished a lot!!! Lord Hear me I thank you and will continue to thank you!!

Walk it help with the gas and it helps you to get back on track.

Yes!! I am also having trouble sleeping. I am up every couple of hours and I am not sure why? I am not in that much pain!! I was wondering if the pain meds had anything to do with it? What pain meds are you taking if any?

I went through the same thing! Your boby is trying to adjust to the change.Cant sleep cause you can't get in the positions that your use to.Not hungry but your body is telling you time to eat,so that you can go to sleep.Use that heating pad it will help you sleep a little longer,but it's just gonna take about three weeks to get back to normal.

Im so very nervous. But so so cant wait to b on the other side! Meet you all there!

Good Luck!

I'm at the doctors office getting ready for my first fill. Couldn't sleep last night! Lol

Just had my first fill down 17 lbs (amazing for me)! I have an awesome doctor,nurse and staff.They made sure everything was right before I left.Exrays the whole 9 yards was checked.

I was banded on 4/26. I lost 14 lbs with the pre-op and post-op diets and stopped losing about 3-4 weeks ago.

I'm going for my first fill today and really hoping that my results improve. I'm supposed to get three cc's today.

I keep reading that I shouldn't expect much weight loss in the beginning' date=' but I'm hoping that I'm getting past the beginning point. I think it's a bit depressing and im trying to hang in there.[/quote']

I'm getting very discouraged.... I was banded in 3/22/12 and to date I've only lost 13lbs. I had my first fill 5/9 and feel no restriction. I'm trying to avoid the scale until I go back for my second fill in a few weeks. Guess I had high hopes from reading success stories where people lost 50+ in 5 months or so. Anyone else experience slow weight lose? I'm starting to feel like I have fought for nothing. Any and all advice is welcome!!!!!!!!

Everyone is different!You need to stop the pitty party and do the best you can.Were here for you.

for a week now every time i try to eat it fills like the food is getting stuck and i have to throw it up. it does not matter what the food is and i am even chewing food very carefully now' date=' which i never had to do before. I am now getting scared to even eat. And it is affecting life, because we eat out a lot and i will not go now and i will only bring food home so I can run to the bathroom when needed. any ideas what is going on??? [/quote']

You need to call your Dr office ASAP!!

Since loosing 100 pounds n 9 months I have not had a period. At my highest weight I didn't have periods either now that I'm gettin healthy my bmi is down 13 points it has never came. And nope I'm not preg. Any thoughts?

I had my cycle a week after my band,and it went from 7 days to 3 days OMG. Since 10 yrs of she I have never had a three day cycle!When I go to my post-op appointment I will be talking to my Dr about what this band does to people's bodies.

Great Advice!
