And I hope everyone had a great holiday!

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.

Yea I go to true results on Kimberly Ln. In Houston.

Slomeli I go there as well in fact I will be there for a fill this wednesday

Oh that's cool. I go back on the 21st.

Good luck Slomeli

Thanks. Same to you typo chick.

Sorry. Txpo chick Is what I meant

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!

Good luck on your fill today.

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
