Looking for a Houston, texas group



Recommended Posts

Hi ladies anyone can set them up I think @fashionstylist setup the first one. I think due to the holidays everyone got a little busy. But I think the 1st of the year would be a great time for us all to get together. I'm located in the Champions areas and would love to meeting you all. I've been banded since 5/3/13 down 47lbs. It took me a couple of months to get to my sweet spot but i'm glad i'm finally there ;-)

For those of you who live on the north side of town, or those who don't mind traveling a bit, there is a support group that meets the first and 3rd Thursday of every month at Memorial Hermann in The Woodlands at 7pm in the conference center. The group is ran by the bariatric nurse there and its an awesome group of people. We often have guest speakers, which is very informative. Last time we had a representative from Celebrate Vitamins, the time before that, was a personal trainer, sometimes one of the bariatric doctors will come in and discuss any concerns or questions the group may have. I go to almost every meeting, depending on work. It's not just for banded patients either, its for all bariatric patients.

I am looking for a doctor to do fills here in Houston. I was banded by Dr. Spivak, who moved to Israel. It's hard to find a doctor who will do fills on someone that they didn't band. Dr. Spivak referred all patients to Scarborough/Yu, but it's really hard to get an appointment and not much in the way of support. I was totally unfilled back in May 2013 and have gained back about 40lbs! I hate the thought of being restricted and miserable again, but can't seem to lose the weight on my own. Any suggestions for a good doctor would be greatly appreciated! Thanks:)

Well that was nice of him just to move to Israel. I can say that my doctor doesn't do my fills. I go through true results. I'm not sure if they do patients they haven't seen but I wouldn't see the problem. Maybe you can give them a call and just ask if they can.

I go to True Results on Main Street in Houston. Quick/Easy appointments and pretty sure that they would be able to work with you. Give them a call to discuss/schedule an appointment.

Thanks for the help. I called True Results today. I have to become an official patient of one of their surgeons and then they can do my fills. I'm waiting to hear from Dr. Hollis' office to find out what that entails. Thanks again!

Thanks Meli... it went great.... I am so much more at ease about my progress ... Nurse Connie is the best... everything that I had anxiety about or paranoid about was shot down by her with facts and education... I am so relieved... I am going back on Jan 29th

      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
