I dunno if there is another area for this. It is all coming at me so quick. I am in League City, Tx, just south of Houston about 20 minutes. Having surgery at Memorial Hermann SE.

I have, of course been watching many a you tube video and one in particular says it is super important to have persons around you in the same boat to keep you on your toes.

I am approved and awaiting my July date exactly. Anyone interested in maybe creating a FB page for SE Houston bandsters? Maybe some coffee/tea somewhere and then a phone support system after?

Did everyone that went to Dr.Hollis go through True Results? My surgery isn't at SE memorial it's at the out patient center on Main. I think.....

I am not too far from League City would love to join a Facebook group or in person group. I did this with people I met her 3 years ago and it was great! My e-mail is crodriguez17@comcast.net. My only suggestion is meet at a public place until you get to know your new friends. We started out at Starbucks and then after we all knew each other we met at peoples homes.

I think it all depends on our insurance.

I went directly through True Results, on Main, because my insurance doesn't cover WLS, so it was cheaper for me to go to TR than to go directly to Dr Hollis. Many times I've regretted that decision, as Dr Hollis is so much closer to me, but not sure he'd be able to take me now and have me pay the cash prices I pay at TR. it can be a pain to drive to True Results. When I signed up at TR they picked the surgeon, not me, so I guess that's my fault for not realizing that I should have asked for Dr Hollis, but at the time I didn't know that he was also an independent surgeon. Oh well.

ok all the Hollis peeps here. The weekend is excruciating. The staff has been out until tomorrow-all are in CA for conference. When they gave you a date, how far along was it after you approval. I still need my EGD by Dr Hollis. Sure wish he could do that during surgery.

      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...

      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
