Katy bandsters??



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Is there a Katy meeting? I'm a patient of Dr. Spivak's, too. 4/29/09. I desperately need to talk with fellow banders. I know Dr. Spivak no longer has meetings and I just moved to Katy. I had my band repositioned in June and can not get back into the groove!

I do not live in the Katy area but am a patient of Dr. Spivak and would love to talk to you anytime. I am 17 months out and down 82 lbs got another 15 to go and then we will see if I need to lose more. Feel free to private message me or email me at crodriguez17@comcast.net. My experience with Dr Spivak has been great.

I found a social group in the support group category on here for Katy area banders. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/groups/show/115-katy-area-banders/

There isn't any talk of meetings yet, but it's a new group.

How has it been so far? Is it true that you don't feel hungry with the band and that those 20 dime sized bites really do satify you?

So far it's been good, the first few days I was really sore, which is too be expected, but I was back at work the following Tuesday. i did have to take lots of breaks because sitting too long started to hurt and the gas build up was still pretty bad. I'm not hungry at all but I do find my body craving Protein so I have to be sure and get my shakes in and yesterday gave in and had some chicken breast at lunch and paid for it dearly. I was in a lot of pain and think it was just too soon. Thought I could handle it since I ate really slow and chewed very well. But I think I'm still healing and please learn from my mistake. Take your time and listen to you body.

It's weird to go throughout the day and not constantly think about food and what I'm going to eat next.

Good luck on your journey, this site is great.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
