Ok I just came in from the above Support Group Meeting. I walked in and sat down by someone and after a few minutes of talking to some of the others I turned to a woman and said I do not think I have met you have I? Well it was someone banded who has been to the meeting before and who is active on these boards and I have talked to here before and invited to the meeting before. She had not been to a meeting in a couple of months . . .

She looked like a totally different person. Her weight loss had really changed her looks. I felt so bad at first that I did not recognize her. But is was due to her hard work at losing weight. I won't embarrass her by saying her name, but she knows who she is. You look great!!

So you who think people can't tell the difference when your losing weight, maybe they don't say anything because you are working so hard losng weight that people just don't know it is you!

It's funny you say that because that is the reaction that I have received from a lot of people who haven't seen me in a while. They are like "Velma? :huh: " Wondering if it is really me. LOL It is hilarious. I'm like yes it's me. Then they will say that I look so good and that I look like a teenager. :wub: That makes me feel soooo good. But you are right, people don't recognize you. Great feeling when they do though. :D

Hi Texas Bandsters! I'm in the Houston area and would like to join groups in the Woodlands, Spring, Willowbrook, Tomball region if at all possible. I have not yet been banded, but I am scheduled for sometime next month with Dr. Reilly through True Results. Does anyone have any advice???

I'm over in Cypress/Katy area. I used Dr. Reilly and liked him. I'm not sure of any support groups in those areas, just of the one at the True Results clinic on the last Thursday of the month. I've had a hectic year so I haven't been back but I'd recommend going if you can't find another. I was banded October 12, lost 40 lbs until the beginning of the year. I'm not a great bander as I got in a slump, stopped losing, felt like I failed then got pregnant (14 weeks now), started losing again (while pregnant, baby and I are healthy. I'm sure it'll slow soon since the baby will catch up) but you can message me if you'd like. =)

I have been wondering the same thing. I am getting my band next week..April 26...through True Results. I understand they have support group' date=' but I live in Katy, work in Fort Bend ISD, and have a 3 year old that I need to pick up before 6:00--so that group just doesn't work for me.

I was hoping to find Houston area support either in person or here on this site. Please let me know if you know of any support groups in and around the West Houston area.[/quote']

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
