Hello from Houston! I could use a Band-Buddy!



Recommended Posts

Howdy! I just started my band journey. I'm lucky to have the support of my husband and my mom. I'm telling my dad today. Read my profile if you'd like to know more about me... and I love to talk about me! LOL!!!

I could use some friends to help support and guide me along. I won't be having surgery till Sept. at the earliest. I'm on a pre-op diet.

I've read so many books, but I need information and support from HUMANS.

So, will you be my band-buddy?

Hi Bonnie,

Welcome to LapBandTalk. :(

Congrats for taking the first step to the new you. I read your profile and loved how open and honest it was.

I have also sent you a friend request. I live in Humble (Northeast Houston). I am almost 7 months into my journey. I was self-pay so it only took me a month from first consultation to surgery. I am so so so glad I took that first step! :thumbup:

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Shelley!

You're doing great! Thank you for adding me as a friend and for the compliment on my profile.

Humble isn't too far from here in Houston terms. I have SEVERAL relatives there including my grandparents.

I really look forward to our new friendship!

Thanks so much!!

I live in Hitchcock so we are really close. I am 10 months out and have lost 65 lbs, been stuck at that weight for about a month.

My Dr. was Dr Spivak in Houston. I love everything about him and his staff. I will be 50 in November and would like to lose another 40 lbs by them but time will tell. I would love to talk to you anytime.

I have met some really nice people on these boards a few of us have started our own support group and meet once a month if you are interested I will let you know what day it will be this month. We usually meet in League City or Friendswood.

Holy Cow! You're just a few exits down the freeway from me! LOL!!

I'm @ 646 and 45.

I'd love to come by the support group. I'm having a harder time with my family than I initially thought. I could use an ear and some words of advice.

Thanks so much for befriending me! I look forward to our friendship!

Sure. You got it. Send me a friend request and I'll approve it. I couldn't find where to approve it on yours. Good luck.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
