Go to the yahoo group, Houston Area Bandsters. I am most certain that there is a group that meets out in the cypresswood area. You can join that group and post online to find out for a meeting near you.

Hey, I have kind of a complicated life. Anyone from either of these areas? I could sure use someone to talk to. I am a bit of a loner when it comes to the LapBand. I chose not to tell anyone, but my husband. My husband does not understand weight problems. But he is the only one I trusted with this information. Anyone there?????

I was banded July 27th in MX and weight at the peak was 238 and the day of surgery I was 231.5 and now 210. That is not a lot of lost weight, but it is at least moving in the right direction. I know the next 10-15 pounds will make a much bigger empact on the way I look than those first 20 pounds. I am down a full size. Gone from size 18 being almost too small.....they were getting mighty tight. Now 16 is comfortable. ahahahahhhhhhh.

I doubt I go to any meeting because I chose to do this surgery in secret. Nobody knows other than hubby.

Please tell nobody. This is highly confidential.

God bless

Wild

Faybie, you are local! :wow2: I was considering that group too, but I'm never really sure which Saturday it is. Do you know! Unless it is the 16th, I can make it. I'd love to meet you. PM me your local information and at least we can meet for coffee.

Anybody want to meet this Wednesday 12/13 at 6:30 PM at Humble City Cafe for dinner or a cuppa...to say hi, chat, and plan a NE support group? I'll call for reservations if I can get a head count.... Or if that day doesn't work, let's talk.

Frankly, I'd prefer a lunch meeting but I'm guessing that won't work as well for everybody...

I'll meet you on Wednesday. I think a Saturday morning would be nice for meetings, but let's see how this goes. What name/group for the reservation?

Great! I'll take a head count Tuesday and make a reservation under BANDSTERS. I'm looking forward to it.

Humble City Cafe is by SE corner of the intersection of 59 and 1960, on Main Street. Can give exact directions as needed.

Start a new thread and call it NE Bandsters - Kingwood/Humble/Attascocita and post the invite. You might get more feedback by starting a new thread in the Texas forum.

Go to Texas in the list of threads (where this one is located) and hit start thread. Give it a title and post your message. It will then appear when someone selects NEW POSTS and they can quickly see it. If you have problems let me know and I'll start it for you.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
