Congratulations on your success! Dr. Spivak has a support group that meets at 7 pm every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at his office at 1200 Binz, Suite 1470. The meetings are open to everyone, not just Spivak patients. We'd love to meet you and hear your story.

Hiya TXfella...

Congrats on your bandiversary! There is another group that meets once a month called Houston area bansters. The next meeting is 2pm Sat the 17th at Central Market, 3815 Westheimer, upstairs in the meeting room.

I also go to Dr Spivaks meetings. We learn alot and laugh even more. Hope we get to meet you.

Hi! I am a wannabe banded! I'm in the process of waiting for approval from my insurance. I'm working against the clock because if I do get approved in time I want to get banded on 12-28-07 by Dr. Felts. Wish me well!

There is a group for all Weight Loss Surgery patients that meets the 3rd Wednesday of each month. There is a meeting tonight. It is located at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands.

I also live in the Pasadena area. I don't think that I would be interested in going to a support group, but I would like to have someone to chat with about our experiences.

I had my surgery December 1, 2006 by Dr. Garth Brooks. My progress has been slower than I had expected, but I am still working toward my goal. I have lost 60 lbs in one year :clap2:. I have been really frustrated lately because the holidays made it difficult to keep on tract. I'm back on track now and will hopefully get to my goal weight by April.
