I was actually online today looking for a support group because I am new to the area. I heard of a group called Houston Bandsters... but tried to call the number on the website and it was disconnected... so I sent one of the contacts an email to see if they still meet and the when and where. I will let you know when I hear back. The website was h3wellness.com

I wonder if you can go to another doctor's support group...mind doesn't have one...they cancelled it because it wasn't very popular...so they say.

I tried to copy and paste but wouldn't let me the bariatics support group a memorial Herman in woodlands looks to be open to anyone. GOogle bariatics support group at m

Memorial Herman hospital woodlands tx and it should come up with contact number they meet every other thurs. it is open to all types of surgery so lap band gets bashed a lot of time in those. Maybe we could try to start a coffee group in our area. And meet up once a month or even twice ??

I got a failure message from my email to the Houston Bandsters that I was trying to locate. I think that center must have relocated or just gone out of business. So Im not sure if there is a band support group here in our area or not. I called today and am going to start going to a lap band Dr. off of 242. I have to get all my records transfered and all that. But I will ask them next week if there is a support group out of thier office. But I am also game for just starting one for our area. Obviously if there isnt one.. maybe we could start one and gain some more members! Im sure there are others in our area who could benefit!

      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! 😞
