I would be willing to meet up. I think it would be great to do something besides eat together. Maybe organize a walk at a park or something that could be good for us.

Hi, I'm interested in meeting up too - sounds like an idea worth trying!

I would be interested in getting together. I live a couple of hours away but get in fills in dfw area, and I think the best time for me would be weekends and am open to the place.

Let's meet on a weekend--downtown Dallas might be a central location. I think that a restaurant would be a good idea. Since we're all bandsters, we could order appetizers and share them. Looking forward to meeting all of you!!!

I'm in. This is a great idea! Weekends and AM work best for me. I'm at gfarhamand@yahoo.com.

I am in as well. My work schedule might make it hard and I will be layed up for a while after my TT next week. But I will keep checking this thread to see whats decided and try my best to make it.

Hi Cherri,

First, thank you for taking action on this.

To answer your questions:

1. I would love to attend (count my in as one)

2. I like the idea of a weekend for the first meeting, I think the odds that more bandsters could attend on the weekend.

3. That is a geography question and maybe we could take a poll some how, does this forum have an option to do that. If there are more RSVPs from East Dallas than anywhere else, it would make sense to make the meeting convenient for the majority. As for where, I loved the idea of a park or something to get us out and active, but I realize it is going to be a meet and greet for the first meeting, so a community room or restaurant makes sense.

Let me know if I can help!

Cheers,

Mary

Sounds like fun

My schedule gets crazy but I'll certainly try to attend!!

Hey everyone,

I am very interested in meeting, also. Has anyone set up a meeting? I see lots of suggestions but no definate meeting plans. How many times can I say meeting? LOL. I have no preference. Any place, any time, to meet some fellow banders and share support.

Okay, BigBaby! You know I luv ya, but how the heck is Dallas central for DFW?!?!? LOL HEB or Arlington, maybe! (Yes, MY neck of the woods! :tongue2:)

I like the park/walk idea! River Legacy Park is in North Arlington and has miles of great paved trails in a gorgeous setting.

But I'll go anywhere to meet up with some fellow bandsters, so count me in.

BTW, there is a get together this evening at Mercado Juarez at Matlock & I-20 at 6:30pm tonight. Lap Band Support group meeting that gets its own meeting room and is open to any who want to show up. I have never gone to ANY and I think I might go.

stefanie,

that's sooo close to me, i may go too! it would be my first one as well.
