Is anyone from Houston? Just had my RNY on 04-21-09 with Dr. Spiegel. His support groups suck. I would like to find a good group to go to, maybe one with activities or something.

I do a lot of working, have a baby  and don't get out much for recreational activities. I know Nu-weigh has a lot of activities for its members, but they don't accept people if you didn't have surgery with their docs.

Hi I'm back in Louisiana and didn't live close enough while in Houston but there is a group open to anyone that meets in the Pasadena area.  Sean is the leader, he'll post on the board to let eveyone know when the meetings are being held.

If you don't get any replies tonight you should by tomorrow morning because Liz, Terry and several others that are active on the board will see this and post to you.

Congrats with your surgery.

Hello!  Welcome!


Houston is an extremely large city!

Can you be more specific as to where you reside as that will help us let you know what is available support wise in the area in which you live!

I'm in NW Houston.  There is a fun group that meets at Memorial Hermann/The Woodlands.

Please give us more specific information so that we may guide you and provide you with better information!

Glad you spoke up and stopped by to ask questions!   :-)

I have two sides to my brain - a right side and a left side.  The trouble is sometimes there is nothing left in the right side and nothing right in the left side.

Oh dear lord on dr. Spiegel :)
yes there is a great group in pasadena.  Meet at the starbucks at fairmont and the beltway... in the target parking lot.

Pasadena Support Group 2nd Monday at 7pm & 4th Saturday at 10am

on the saturday one, they usually go walking or some other activity. 

im sure sean will post on this as well, when he does, make sure to PM him so he will put you on his contact list. He usually sends out reminders and such
Are you taking your vits, getting in your protein etc? i know we have another of dr. speigel's patients here that wasnt getting his vits in as he wasnt clear on what all he needed

Thank you to everyone who posted. I am in Pasadena.


Dr. Spiegel......well, I can say that he didn't kill me during the surgery, and so far, I have been complication free. But, I think that the girls working in his office don't have the best work ethic or knowledge base.

At my one week follow up, I told Dr. Spiegel that my legs were restless at night since having my RNY BYPASS and he recommended.....are you ready for this.......gatorade.......


Anyway, Sean hasn't posted yet, but I sent him a PM, so I hope he replies.

I will go pretty much anywhere in Houston that isn't more than 45 minutes from Pasadena!

The Pasadena Support Group is great and will be meeting next on June 8th unless Sean changes it.  Last month we met at Panera Bread at Fairmont and BW8 so we would have more room.  I won't be there this month - will be on vacation in Colorado - but I hope to meet you in July!
