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.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
