Any Peeps In The Se Houston Area? Support Group?



Recommended Posts

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.

i went through True Results on Main too, but my insurance required me to have the surgery at a facility that could offer in patient assuming i had complications so i had surgery at Memorial SE but i do all of my visits on Main near Reliant.........and Matilda i would love a group or just a couple of people to work out with but im too far from any of you guys and i preferto work out in the early morning

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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
