Any one from Texas?

Any Texas sleevers in here? I'm a 31 yr old mom of 2(5 & 7), live around Dallas. My surgery is on Feb 9th. Just looking for a good group of people that chat with. I can't relate to older folks having surgery, as I really think the recovery & life struggles will be different because of age.

Hay have you been able to find any support groups in the Houston area! I am in the process of moving to Houston. I am originally from from MI then GA next FL to land in TX (Houston near Katy). I was sleeved 8/1/2014. I have family in the area but my husband and I are the only ones sleeved. It been a good journey!

Not sure is this is a dead thread or not but wanted to say Hi. I'm a 32 yr old mama of 4. My boys are 10, 6 & 4 and my last little one is my 2 yr old baby girl.

I live over in Greenville about an hour east of Dallas and I will be seeing Dr Stephens at Tx Bariatrics.

Hi I live 50 miles south of Houston. I am in the pre approval phase hoping to have surgery in June. It's a lot of appointments and headaches but will all be worth it when I can play with my kids and walk the dogs without thinking I m dying.... And not be able to gorge myself on the bad stuff! I cannot wait. Plus reduce my risk for hereditary type 2 diabetes, get off my high BP meds and possibly reduce/eliminate migraines!

I am now in the Houston/Clear Lake area. I have not found or had a lot of time to look for support. This is a lifetime journey. In the last few months I have recommitted to the process. I in the do over mode.

Check out Memorial Hermann NewStart program they may be able to provide support group and after care if needed. That's the program I am using and it's great!

Awesome! My oldest daughter is 21 months! So I'm doing this for my girls! Have you already had surgery or are you having it soon?
