I'm in conroe but don't mind driving!!

I actually been throwing the idea around in my head of creating a meetup on meetup.com for Houston Area Sleevers....I'm already an organizer of a social group on there....but yes I dont mind chatting, or meetup up for lunch or something to talk! It would be the start of a great support team!

I'm in Beaumont area :) will be sleeved 2-6!

I was going to check meetup if I didn't find anyone here....I need additional support because my family isn't at all! I think even if we met once a month for coffee or dinner or a game night or something then that would be amazing. My surgery is scheduled on 3/1 but I want to build connections before hand...

Ok, cool beans! I understand the whole lack of family support....my family hasn't come out and said, NO! we are not going to support you! But everytime we have get togethers people ask me, are you sure you want to do this??which can also be frustrating...

I'm having my surgery in June...

You and I are really close!

There is already a houston sleevers group here on VST. It might be a good idea to go ahead and use what is here...the more we create groups the more I fear we lose people do to saturation of resources...just an opinion.

I was thinking about going something along the lines of activity days rather than a restaraunt. Like putt-putt or paintball or lasertag, or a guided nature walk or something like that...ghost tours, sandcastle contest in Galveston, anything really.

OMG! My sister got me an Xbox with kinect for christmas, and as soon as we get the redecorating done I an going to install it. This is so much fun! It is like Wii but nothing to hold and it is very accurate. I already do yoga and it is very fun with it, did boxing and kick boxing too! Dance off to The Black Eyed peas was great! I almost ripped out my stitches, but it was fun! I could have a kinect party!

That sounds awesome! Does the other group currently meet up?

I would love to start a group. I live in NW Houston. Just an FYI, I have been part of the Houston area group for awhile and we have never meet or made any plans to.

how about movies and a smoothie king for a first meetup??

How about bowling imstead of a movie, that way we can talk and get to know each other?
