I am scheduled for my surgery on May 5, 2011. I am very excited, and not nervous for the surgery, except getting sick from anesthesia. But I am worried about not having a sounding board or someone going through the same journey. There are LapBand support groups here, and the VSG support groups meet once a week on a specific subject, but set up like a class. It would be really great to make some local friends to meet up with or have some accountability. Is there anyone in Houston, Texas looking for the same thing and want to give it a try?

Best,

Steven

I am from Houston and would love to start a group. I haven't been to any support groups yet because my revision specialist is downtown and it is too far for me to make it to the hospital or doctor's support groups on time with the traffic after work. Congrats on your upcoming surgery date!!!

I'll come...lets set a date and a place. Starbucks is too small. We need somewhere with some privacy. Ummmmm I-45? There is a Pappas Seafood on I-45 near West Road. Any better places? I think we should think of a time too. I can say that I have a family, so timing is everything. I could do a Tuesday night. Anyone ANyone?

I would love to come, but I-45 is a bit far for me and I have a family, too. I could meet in that area if it was on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon but probably not during the week. I live in Northwest Houston.

I'm actually in Tomball, which is more like Northwest. Name a place on 290 and I'll travel. I could do a late Saturday afternoon. Sunday is busy for us/church/cooking, etc.

I am in northwest Houston also kingwood area off Hwy 59...I haven't had my surgery yet hoping for June but would love to know I had a support group close by.

Oops sorry I am actually Northeast Houston! Lol
