Hi All!! I am constantly looking for new friends on here that are going to be new sleevers in the DFW area so I thought I would see how this forum worked! Soooo... Here's the plan =) I would like to see if we can get a "support" group going on here so we can follow each other and be able to keep in touch on and off the board (unless you would only like to be contacted VSG board, just let us know!) I would like to maybe even get together as a group for lunch/dinner or whatever! I think that having a close knit "sleever family" (lol) would be so great to have =) Reply if interested and let's see what we can put together?!?

Here is a little info about me!!

My name is Toni (girl lol)

Married for 24 years (love him <3 )

Have a 21 year old daughter who gave me a beautiful 17 month old grandson Logan

I live in Oak Point Texas on 5 acres, LOVE the country although I am definitely not a country girl lol

I manage several Physical Therapy clinics in Plano, Frisco and McKinney which allows me to work from home #blessed!

5'4" and 229lbs =(

41 years young!

Due to an exclusion in my Aetna policy (grrr!) I will be having surgery in Juarez Mexico with Dr Rodriguez at the Star Medica Hospital on June 29th!!!! so excited!

Some of my goals are:

1) sky dive!

2) zip line

3) hiking in North Carolina mountains!

4) Run with my grandson =)

Look foward to meeting you all!!!

Is this group for dfw sleevers or just June sleevers? I was sleeved may 15th. I live in Mesquite and am 41 years old with two daughters 19 and 15. I would love to be a part of this <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Hi lessofmeismore!!!!!

I live in Mesquite too!! I'll be 46 in August. I just had my sleeve last wednesday and doing good. I'm glad there is someone else here in Mesqiite!!!!

Hey y'all. I hope everyone is doing well. I started a chart with the info I knew about everyone but have fallen a bit behind due to starting back to work and some issues with increased pain. I'm gonna try to get it caught up ASAP though. If you haven't alrwady included your e-mail in this post or sent me a I'm with it, please do. We will post details here but will also email stuff. Also, if you'd give me your real name and any other info about you that you'd like the group to know about you, I'll include that in our member chart.

As Toni said, anyone in the DFW area is welcome to join regardless of when you had surgery. And, yes DadTo2 that includes guys.

Okay, so I got on this chart and have updated it to here. Here are a list of members I have so far:

Back~To~Me (Amy)

Tonibugg (Toni)

Lovemeifyoucan (Stacey)

Butterflylegacy (Cindy)

Amanda3.0 (Amanda)

kk23 (Katie)

Jana-in-Texas (Jana)

DadTo2 (Eric)

For the majority of you I am missing information: If your name isn't in parentheses after your screen name, I need your first name. Also, I need an e-mail address for all of you but Toni if you want to get e-mail updates and a copy of our member list. Finally, I need a location for SLIM12 and kk23. Feel free to post the needed information here or send me a PM.

As y'all know, Toni is very recently postop so we haven't had a chance to talk about this yet. My thoughts are we need to set up some sort of schedule, like meeting the 3rd Saturday of every month at a specified time. I definitely think we need to do it on a Saturday. I think it is just more workable for the majority of people. Also, we have people in the Mesquite area side of the metroplex to people out in Ft. Worth. We may need to come up with a central location or we may need to schedule a meet and greet on the Dallas side of the metroplex one month then the Ft. Worth side the next month. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Oh, if I missed anyone or anyone else wants to join, please let me know. The more the merrier!!

I look forward to meeting everyone.
