Hi all - looking to start a far southwest support group if anyone's interested. I was banded on April 24, 2007.

Looking forward to meeting fellow bandsters in the area.

The pics are so funny! Especially all the chips we didn't eat! I had a blast. Can't wait till next time. If you weren't able to make it, I hope you can next time. Becky:clap2:

Here is the video clip of a fill I was telling you about for those of us who have yet to have one yet.

Hi Becca,

Thanks for sending us the clip. I don't know it looks kinda scary to me. I hope it's a long time before I need a fill. I am so sore now the thought of it makes me want to run and hide. Enjoyed Monday nite can't wait for next the second Monday in September.

Ok, I've had 2 fills and that clip scared me - yuck. It's a lot easier when you're not looking.

I realize that y'all just had a meeting, but are you considering scheduling the next one? Count me in!

Yes, SchexyMomma,

We are meeting in September. Because of Labor day we are meeting the 2nd Monday in September which is Friday the 14th. We meet in the back room of Los Tios on Kirdwood at Memorial. Please come. We would love to have you.

WE WANT EVERY ONE TO COME. IT'S A FUN TIME

Hi galati25. I know what you mean. That film scared the britches off of me. Made me decide NEVER to have a fill. I hope it looked worse than it is. Ugh..scary.

I get my fill next week so I will let you know how it goes. It doesn't look that bad!

Hi everyone!!! I am in the Galeria area and I would love to be able to join in the group and meet you all. I just got banded on the 8th and would love to have some friends in the area to talk to.

Welcome to Bandster Heaven Pammycakes!! SchexyMomma, we had our surgery around the same time - be fun to get together and swap stories of the adventure so far - Nancy, see that tickers moving right along - congrats!

Becca - thanks so much for posting the fill video - I was just saying that it looks scarier than it really is - but I'm just really squeamish around needles - always have been. But, the fill never hurt, it's more in my mind than anything else.

Hi everyone just wanted to drop in and say Hi. Hope everyones doing good. Like Munch I cant wait till we meet again. Keep the Wieght Lose going and I'll talk at you Ladies and Gents Later:)

Hi pammycakes,

We are a little further West than the Galleria but if you can brave the drive we would love to have you. We are meeting on Monday September 14 at 6:30 in the back party room of Los Tios Restaurant. It is located at Kirkwood and Memorial.

Hope you can make it.

Sorry I sent off my post before I was finished. I want to say congratulations on your banding and I hope you are feeling well. The first few days are a little shakey (I am 9 days banded today) but it's up hill from there.

Thanks Munchkin. I am doing pretty good. Just a little sore and feeling a bit weak but feeling better today than I did yesterday. Getting use to what I can eat. I was able to start mushies today.

I am going to try to make it to the next meeting. Make my way across traffic taking my life into my own hands. lol I look forward to meeting with some fellow bandsters.

The second Monday in September is the 10th...not the 14th. Ya'll are meeting on the 10th, right?

I'm leaving for Vegas that day so won't be able to join you, but you're meeting right by my office, so I'll subscribe to the thread and hope that I can join you in October!

Josie & Schexy -- keep me posted if I forget, ok?
