I am coordinating a very informal get together for anyone who would like to come. I cannot meet in the evenings during the week so was wondering if anyone else would like to meet once a month on a Saturday at the Starbucks in the Panther Creek Village from around 9:30 - 10:30. The actual Saturday would change depending on my schedule. I met with one other person this month and really enjoyed it! Details for the next get together are below. If you can email me or reply to let me know you're coming, that would be great but not required.

What: Informal Get Together

Who: Other Lap-Band patients in The Woodlands area

Where: Starbucks, Panther Creek Village, The Woodlands

When: Saturday, March 8th, 9:30am

Anyone think they'd like to come to this? -Rachel

I would be interested! I live in Magnolia but work in the woodlands. I will send you a private message so you have my email and you can shoot me an email to confirm next week. Glad to meet you!! Your weight loss is sooo encouraging, I was banded last Friday.

Rachel,

I am interested. I, too, have a hard time getting anywhere in the evenings due to scheduling. March 8th sounds good to me.

I'd love to meet with you all. I'm scheduled to be banded on 3/14 and I'm getting very nervous and doubting myself. I think it would really help to have some other people to talk to. How do I send you an email to confirm for 3/8 meeting? All this chat stuff is pretty new to me so I don't know if I'm doing it all correctly.

Are we still on????

I am not the original poster, I have not heard from her and her email is undeliverable. If you guys would still like to meet this Saturday at 9:30am at the Starbucks at Panther Creek I'm game.

I plan on being there, and I'm bringing a friend who hasn't been banded, but is looking into it.

:thumbup: I'm excited to meet other banders. I don't know anyone in my personal life who has had one. I know a lot of people who's "sister-in-law, neighbor, ex-boyfriend's mother's pastor's wife" etc who have had it done, but no one directly.

Plus, Starbucks...Yum.

Great!! I'll be there. Here is my email, shoot me a reminder email on Friday if you don;t mind. I tend to forget about weekend obligation..I get so wrapped up in my kids activities.

Hey everyone -

I was very happy to meet you all today. :thumbup:
