Hi everyone,

I was banded on 4-22-2010. I actually flew to Detroit MI. to have my surgery because I was paying cash. My pre diet lasted two weeks and my starting weight was 252 pounds.

Weight at surgery was 240 and weight today is 229, :tongue2:.

I need support, because I feel kind of alone in this and am wondering if I am doing everything right. I live in Texas and have found a local doctor and he said I needed a support group. I was hoping someone knew if there was a support group in the Houston, or Alvin area.

Congrats. I'm trying ti get a loan now to go to Mexico.

Hi TRK!

Congrats on your great weight loss. I am actually about to head to my first support group meeting now...in Virginia, so no help to you, but I was banded the day before you and we are at very similar weights, so I'd be happy to be your "buddy" through this process if you want one. Let me know and I hope you find a support group near your home...I'm sure there are many.

trk,

Welcome!! :smile2:This Forum has a bunch of great info and people to answer all your questions. You can go to the Lap Band site to see if there are any support groups in your area. They are usually free. Check it out.

Good Luck,
