Hi,

I started a support group for anyone in my area.

Lap Band Surgery Meetup Houston/ Deer Park (Pasadena, TX) - Meetup.com

What a great thing you are doing! Makes me wish I were near Houston instead of DFW! Maybe I should follow your lead and start one here!

We might have to get together.. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 18th of March. I have 3 kids and life is pretty busy, but I'm thinking I might not be able to do this all on my own. I've been a very strong woman my whole life, and I don't often ask for help. I have a wonderful husband who tops out at 165, so he's not very sympathetic. I'm probably going to need someone to lean on. I live in Pasadena so keep me posted on dates and times. Who knows, I might actually show up one day.

lafsalot,

Feel free to talk to me anytime. I was banded 1 1/2 weeks ago and Im so grateful I did. I've lost 11 lbs in a week and I feel great. Surgery wasnt nearly as bad as some had stated.

Which doctor are you using?

Hit me up for any questions you have.
