Katy bandsters??



Recommended Posts

I'm in Katy and am scheduled to be banded on August 4th by Dr. Ricardo Bonnor at Memorial Hermann Memorial City hospital. I see this thread hasn't been posted to in a while...did you all ever meet up? I'd be interested in a get-together. I'm going to be looking for all the support and help I can get! :biggrin:

I not for sure if anyone meet up or not. Good luck on your surgery. I had mine june 07. I have lost 73 pds. My doctor retired shortly after I had my surgery so it took awhile for me to find another dr to take me on. finally found one 4 months ago. If you have any question feel free to ask me anything.

Hi Misty:

Unfortunately I did not hear from anyone to start meeting in Katy. I hope you have better luck than I did with the surgery. It was a year in June that I had my surgery ....lost only 23 lbs. My doctor, Dr Spivak was very encouraging at first then by the time it was 6 months he kept asking me if the year was over with so he could collect his $100 for fills. Many of my concerns and problems were answered differently by him and his staff. I quickly lost faith in him. Now I am on my own with this. I have not lost any weight but I have not gained any either which I think is great on its own. I am searching for a new doctor to at least get my fills with. Please keep in touch with me and let me know how your doctor is helping you. Goodluck. Duckieduck

I live in Cinco Ranch too. I would love to join the support group. I haven't had my surgery yet, but hopefully my insurance will approve it within the next week or so and I will be another successful Bandster...

I had heard of a group that meets at the Starbucks on Fry and Kingsland Blvd. but I'm not real sure if they are still meeting. They were supposed to meet last Sunday but postponed it till this Sunday. I say if there are enough of us on this site that live in Katy we should try and start one ourselves. Respond if you are interested in starting up a group.

I'd certainly be interested in meeting with other Katy bandsters. Sunday would be ok with me, as long as it's late afternoon/early evening.

Hi Katy bandsters! This thread has been quiet for quite a while. Let's check in!

Banded 8/08 by Dr. Bonnor, I've lost 88 pounds. I should be past the 100 mark by now, but I've fallen back into some bad habits (eating out of boredom, stress, etc. instead of when hungry). I'm planning to get myself back in gear this week, to continue this wonderful thing I'm doing for myself!

I say we start the group back up. I'm to be banded by Dr Brad Snyder of UT MIST in the galleria/bellaire area. I live in Katy and would love to meet up with other bandsters out here :-)

I would love to join, also. I was banded by Dr. Spivak in April. I've recently had two unfills and need major motivation and support.

Hello all... I just moved to Houston and I'm in the Westchase District, off 10 and Beltway 8 and would love to meet some bandsters in the area.

Please let me know if there will be any other meetings/get togethers...

Feel free to add me on Facebook as well, wonderwmn2004@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Jenny

We live near each other. I'm at Westpark and Dairy Ashford. West Houston Medical Center has a monthly meeting. We could also get together.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
