I was wondering if anyone knows or uses a counselor or a nutrionist. If so could I have some info on these people. I have recently started to exercise and be more serious about my band, but yet I need help with the nutrition part and just with all the changes...does anyone have suggestions?

p.s. I live in the Houston, Texas area.

Bumping for you!

Dr. Spivak supposedly has a nutritionist at his office? Have you called and asked them yet?

Let me know what you find out!

Herman Hospital have several nutritionist that see out patients.

no, i didnt know that he had a nutrionist in his office, thank you for telling me that, i will look into that.

Looking for nutritional help & counseling with the LapBand in Houston?

OK, I'll go ahead and plug my Banded pals. (They don't need my help though, they are doing extremely well). I

he Houston area Yahoo Bandsters group has a face-to-face support group that meets once a month on the third Saturday of each month. (Next month they meet on Saturday March 18th at 2:30 p.m. ) and the two support group 'leaders' provide a nutrition/counseling/training service for surgery patients. The support group meetings are open to any pre-band or post -op LapBand patients and you can see their services and facilities during the free support meeting.

The location is at H3 (Hope, Health, Happiness) which is located in the Twelve Oaks Center in Greenway Plaza, just inside the Loop. The center was founded by two women - both who are banded and have lost 100+ lbs each. One is a Certified Life Coach and Certified Nutritionist and the other one is a Certified Fitness Trainer. (Whew, lots of certifications there!)

Anyway, you can read about their services here at this web link which has all the information and directions.
