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 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! 😞
