I will probably be joining the gym here eventually and that is the best one near my house. I will let you know. There is a social group started that says Dr. Collier patients, I found it under my control panel area. Everyone should join!!! :wub:

I live about 45 minutes north of Houston, Texas!!

I am also scheduled for May 15th!

Maybe we could have out own group??? I am 36, I am from Texas (Houston area), I work as an Emergency Room RN for the last 4 years and a paramedic for 10 years prior to that. I work 3-4 nights a week. I am a Mom to a 20 month old boy. I am scheduled to be banded on 5/15/08.

When is the next meeting???

I am also going to use Dr. Collier with Journey Lite. My pre-op appt is set for Wednesday.

I forgot to mention a comment my DH made. He said are you sure they were just banded because it didnt seem like they needed to loose much. I go for my pre-op appt on 4/30 so I will let you know how it goes. I am willing to meet anywhere. I drive to Huntsville to work 3 to 4 nights a week and always in the Woodlands/Spring area 2-3 a week too.

Had a great time talking with ya'll. Both of you look amazing and has inspired me enough that I went online and got approval for financing. So now all I need to do is my pre-op appt. I would love to meet again and we could even start a walking group?? Anyone interested?

I will be there around 9am maybe a little earlier since I dont want to go home beforehand. I am looking forward to meeting ya'll. I just verified that my insurance does not have coverage and I went to the cardiologist Wednesday and got my release for surgery and his opinion. He said that Dr. Collier was a very meticulous and good surgeon so that made my day. My DH said to call tomorrow and set up my appt. :redface: I am a little nervous to take this step but excited to boot.

I went to Dr Collier's seminar and really liked him. He has an office in Conroe and Woodlands area. I have not heard of anything bad about Dr Wilkenfield other than one of my husband's coworkers had so much trouble with her band that she had it removed. I have not heard of any problems about the doctor himself.

I would prefer between 8am and 10am so that I could be home by 11am.

The starbucks on Lake Conroe?? I am a RN and work Friday and Saturday night shift (7p-7a) so I am available in the morning. Have tons of questions!

I would be interested in the support group in Conroe area. I live in Montgomery and just decided to get banded. I was impressed with Dr. Collier but still want to check all the ones in the area. Any suggestions?

I live in the Lake Conroe area and would love to have a support group. I went to a seminar with Dr. Collier yesterday and was impressed. I am self pay, who did your surgery?
