hi

i am newly banded and would like to connect with bandsters close to my area.

i am also new to texas (just moved here beginning of november) so i'm lost when driving.

i attend dr spivak's tuesday night seminars but am looking for a closer forum.

Hi there, I just moved to katy also and i'm looking to get a fill but haven't found anyone that offer fluro! can you help?

hi,

i go into houston for my banding (dr spivak). i'm not sure what fluro is...

i did see on the lapband.com official website a doctor closer to katy. but i didnt investigate him.

i havent been filled yet since i just got the band 1 1/2 weeks ago.

let me know how you make out

Hey JosieB

Katygirl here - think a local group is a great idea.

Were you at Spivak's tonight - I was there.

hi hazelb,

actually i didnt go. i really wanted to see the cosmetic surgeon but i didnt feel like driving that far. last thursday night i went to see dr S and got lost coming home.

how was it?

actually there is a potential katy group starting from the other website "houston bandsters.com

it's a hard site to get around....doesnt have forums and topics like this one so it's hard (or maybe i'm missing something)

do you want me to forward the email to you or give the person organizing your email?

let me know. after this i will go on the site to see if i can find how to direct you to the girl

she is just trying to come up with sites to meet and days. it's 8 people so far

have a good night

Hi there, fellow Katyites!

I also live in Katy and would love to have a support group close to home, but... I am keeping my surgery *super-private. Only my husband knows.

So as much as I want to join you guys, I don't feel like I can right now. Maybe as time goes by, I'll ease up.

Can you keep posting your meeting times here so I can be included when ready?

*please note that I have decided to keep this private from friends and family because, mainly, my MIL has a very, very big mouth and tons of opinions... and I just can't handle being watched and having to endure comments fabout every bite of food and every ounce of weight for the rest of my life. Oh, and she also lives in Katy.

I am having my surgery on June 1. Would like to get in touch with a support group in the Katy area.

Does this group really meet at the coffeeshop? If not let's start a group starting next Thursday, May 30th. Anyone who is reading this can join us. We can meet whatever time most convenient to everyone. I work so it will have to be after 5 PM.

Is this group still meeting? I am strongly considering the band, but and new to all of this. I'd love to hear stories about how it is for everyone. I live in the Katy area and would love to meet with a group.

Live in Katy and I'm curious as to how many groups there are in Katy. I was just banded two days ago. I feel great but I'm scared to death about dehydration and eating to much. I've lived on sugar free popsicles and special k drink, sugar free Jello, broth and good ol H2O..

I'm open to any and all advice. I had it done at North Cypress Medical Center.

I live in Cinco Ranch and would love to have a local support group start up again!

:biggrin2:

I'm in Katy and am scheduled to be banded on August 4th by Dr. Ricardo Bonnor at Memorial Hermann Memorial City hospital. I see this thread hasn't been posted to in a while...did you all ever meet up? I'd be interested in a get-together. I'm going to be looking for all the support and help I can get! :biggrin:
