Looking for Bandsters in NW Houston



Recommended Posts

HI All,

I live on the northwest side of Houston and I am looking for people who might want to start a support group. I know that I could certainly use it right now! I am at a plateau and need some encouragement!

I am around the Jersey Village area, and you know there is a Starbucks around every corner...LOL That sounds like a good place to start....

:thumbup:

Please let me know if anyone would be interested.

Sharon, I'm not familiar with Jersey Village. Is that anywhere near Spring/The Woodlands? If so, there is a meeting once a month at the Memorial Herrman Hospital in The Woodlands that I can send you info on. Also, a group of us in/near The Woodlands have just started meeting once/month on a Saturday at the Starbucks in the Panther Creek Village which I can send you info on too if you're interested.

Hope that helps. -Rachel

Jersey Village is around 290 and the Beltway, so it would take me about 30 minutes for me to get to the Woodlands. Guess it would depend on when you guys meet. During the week is out of the question! I might be able to do a weekend though.

Thanks!

Sharon

I'm in Spring now, but am moving to Huffmeister and 290 in a couple of months. I worked in Jersey Village for about a year, though.

I'd love to meet up! There is the Starbucks on 290 and (oh, lost it - is it Jones?) Across from the Exxon.

Rachel,

I met you at the last one in March...when is the next get together? I enjoyed the last one.

I live in Fairfield (290 and Mason Rd). I'd be happy to meet sometime. I know there's a Starbucks at Jones/290, and there's one here at Spring Cypress/290. Do you know of any others that are halfway between us?

Hello

Another bander in NW Houston - in the Klein area of Spring. This is certainly a strange journey, a group of people going through the same thing would be great to talk to.

Hi!

I'm in Katy...more west than northwest...but I might be interested in some get-togethers too. I'm due to be banded on 8/4.

Hi Sharon. I just found this website and was pleased to find you blog. I too live in the same area. Are you aware North Cypress Hospital has a new support group? I attended my first meeting this morning and could kick myself for not inquiring earlier. It seems they have a lot of good "up-beat" people.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
