Hello From Houston, TX



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I am a recently banded newbie here, hoping to meet and ask questions of you. I had surgery on 1/17/07 at 12 Oaks Hospital in Houston, TX. Dr. Felix Spiegel is my doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced / friendly surgery.

To date I’ve lost 20lbs, I hope to lose a lot more after my initial fill.

Have a great day!

-Craig

Welcome Craig. I'm sure you will start losing and enjoying your new life. There are several support groups in various areas of town, in addition to the one that Dr. Spiegel has.

Good luck on your journey.

Go to this website. Most of the support groups post their meetings on it. Also good local info.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
