hi hazelb,

actually i didnt go. i really wanted to see the cosmetic surgeon but i didnt feel like driving that far. last thursday night i went to see dr S and got lost coming home.

how was it?

actually there is a potential katy group starting from the other website "houston bandsters.com

it's a hard site to get around....doesnt have forums and topics like this one so it's hard (or maybe i'm missing something)

do you want me to forward the email to you or give the person organizing your email?

let me know. after this i will go on the site to see if i can find how to direct you to the girl

she is just trying to come up with sites to meet and days. it's 8 people so far

have a good night

joanne

Hi there, fellow Katyites!

I also live in Katy and would love to have a support group close to home, but... I am keeping my surgery *super-private. Only my husband knows.

So as much as I want to join you guys, I don't feel like I can right now. Maybe as time goes by, I'll ease up.

Can you keep posting your meeting times here so I can be included when ready?

*please note that I have decided to keep this private from friends and family because, mainly, my MIL has a very, very big mouth and tons of opinions... and I just can't handle being watched and having to endure comments fabout every bite of food and every ounce of weight for the rest of my life. Oh, and she also lives in Katy.

Does this group really meet at the coffeeshop? If not let's start a group starting next Thursday, May 30th. Anyone who is reading this can join us. We can meet whatever time most convenient to everyone. I work so it will have to be after 5 PM.

Is this group still meeting? I am strongly considering the band, but and new to all of this. I'd love to hear stories about how it is for everyone. I live in the Katy area and would love to meet with a group.

Live in Katy and I'm curious as to how many groups there are in Katy. I was just banded two days ago. I feel great but I'm scared to death about dehydration and eating to much. I've lived on sugar free popsicles and special k drink, sugar free Jello, broth and good ol H2O..

I'm open to any and all advice. I had it done at North Cypress Medical Center.

      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?
