Has anyone here attended the support group meetings at the True Results - Houston / Physicians Surgi Center downtown on Main? I believe they are held on the last Thursday of each month.

I have been wanting to look into the meetings there. I was just banded on the 27th by Dr. Riley =)

I considered attending this last week, but my fill was scheduled earlier the same day and I just couldn't fathom making the drive twice in the same day. I live in Richmond.

to kflo2004 >>> CONGRATULATIONS on your lapband surgery . I wish you much success on your journey. How are you doing so far?

to Mrs. Doxie >>> I feel the same way about the drive, I live in Humble (northeast Houston) and making that trip downtown during rush hour really holds me back from attending the meetings. I have never been to one there and was wondering how good the attendance was.

Mrs. Doxie I also live in Richmond and was banded by Dr. Hollis on Sept 20th 2010.

I would also love to attend and did have the same concern about making the drive and maybe no-one would show up...

Why not put in this forum if we are planning to go next month so we at least have an idea how many people will attend?

Just a thought.

Hi! I'm scheduled to be banded by Dr. Riley on 02/10/11 and I had heard about the support group meetings, but was wanting further information. Like the rest of you, the drive is the killer part -- I live in Clear Lake. I wonder if we can maybe come up with a Houston Band group that meets more conveniently? Sorry to hijack the post -- I just love the idea of a support group. I don't know anyone locally that has been banded -- gastric bypass, yes -- lap band, no.

Have a great day!

I was banded by Dr. Hollis and have never attended a meeting also due to the drive. I live in West Columbia which is about 45 minutes to an hour away sometimes longer depending on traffic. I stuggle with this journey and could really use a face to face support group but I'm also concerned about making the drive and no one shows.

I'm pre-op and went tonight. There were about 10 people, I guess. Seems like maybe it's mostly the same group each month...or a lot of the same people anyway. I enjoyed it though.
