I plan to go tonight. Not sure what the topic is or if they have a guest speaker or anything - I've been out of town the last couple of meetings.

Hi Rachel,

I am hoping to be banded in January by Dr. Spiegel. Do you know if I can attend the meeting BEFORE I get banded? Also, is it a weekly meeting or monthly?

Hi Rachel...I was unable to attend last night. Do you know when the next meeting is?

I would love to go - and haven't been able to because my schedule is always interfering.

Thanks for this information!

Sorry guys, forgot to include that info. The Woodlands group meets every 3rd Wednesday of the month same time and location. It was good this week. Two other newly banded folks and two RNY folks (one of which is the leader) Next meeting we are bringing samples of our favorite protein drinks or other items that we enjoy that are beneficial for a WLS person. Our next meeting will be the 16th of January. I don't think it would be a problem for someone who has not been banded yet to attend. I'll double check, but unless you hear back from me I would say go ahead and come. (of course you may already be banded by our next meeting) Hope that helps! -Rachel

Forgot to clarify that we're bringing samples to share/giveaway to other folks if you have them. I drink a couple of Metifast drinks that I'm going to bring some packets of to give away. I know some of the items can be fairly expensive, so just be sure to indicate if you're bringing them for "show and tell" or for giveaway. Take care! -Rachel
