Austin Support Groups



Recommended Posts

I had my Mental Health Assessment today and the therapist recommends I attend support group meetings. I had googled support groups in Austin, Tx before and didn't have any luck finding one. Does anyone know of any support groups in North Austin, Pflugerville or Round Rock?

I'm in Bastrop, and the only support group I've found is through my Doctor (Patel) at TX Bariatric centers. That's just once a month and it seems all the responses on the online forums are at least 1-3 years old. Aren't there any new Sleevers out there who are interested in posting online?

I'm getting discouraged since I can't do full exercise for another week and I've only lost about 25 pounds since pre-op. I'm 5 weeks out now.

I'd love to get together with some other Austin-area sleevers.

I never found one that I could go to. There is one that meets once a month at Saint David's but it's during the week when I can't get to it.

I've been going it on my own. Been doing ok but I can understand being frustrated by the lack of support

I live in Cedar Park and would love a support group in Austin, Round Rock or Pflugerville. I'm 10 days post-op. Any help is appreciated.

jjsmimi, did you ever find a support group? Through BariatricPal I have started a support group in North Austin. We meet the first Saturday of the month at the Walnut Creek Baptist Church at 11am. We have a meeting tomorrow. You are more then welcome to drop by. We will be meeting at 11am.

25 pounds in 5 weeks sounds amazing to me :) I was banded on 8/26 by True Results in Austin and was informed that they also have a support group that meets once a week in the evenings. I really hope you find he support you seek. I am vey happy to have found this app just a little while ago :) Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
