A couple of us from Friendswood and Texas City Area have meet once for coffee or a bottle of water at Starbucks so we could talk about our experiece and would like others to join us. Men or Women are welcome. It doesn't matter what Dr you used we have different Drs. Also you could bring your spouse or a friend whatever makes you comfortable

We are open to meeting anywhere that is public so people will feel safe. If you are interested just reply to this thread. It was really fun meeting others that are going through the same thing. We said an hour but we talked 2 hours. But people could and go as they want

We thought we could meet once a month or more if some want to. Thanks!!

Sorry Andrew, maybe you can come to the next one. I don't know much about sports but we will check with you next time to see if any games planned.

if yall change the date or time to sooner lemme know.

I enjoyed the meeting so much today!! Everyone was so nice. I could have sit there all day. We had five people in all different stages of being banded. Met some new people too they were so nice and I hope everyone will come to the next one. I also enjoyed hearing someone in the group say how much she depends on God to help her get through this because I totally agree and also do. Anyone who wants to come join us like Andrew hopefully that is not the superbowl or something. Is it? I just thought about that

Just checked it is not the Superbowl. Come if you can!! 2:00 pm

the one next to ULTA or the one inside barnes and noble.

Okay we missed everyone today! We had two new people today one banded a year and one not band yet. They are such nice people. But . . . . .we missed all our other people. Where are you? We missed you. We planned another one for March 28 at Starbuck by target across from Baybrook Mall. (Really in is in the PetsMart and Chucky cheese shopping Center) but by the road but can make changes if we need to. Just let us know. Hope everyone is doing do great

Here is another reason to come because you never know who you will meet. One of the people who came today was my best friend my whole childhood. My dad died when I was 10 and over the years we lost total touch. After about 1½ hours of talking to her we figured out who each other was. It made my day!!!!! Come and see what happens to you!

Sad thing is I was in the area at the mall getting my wife some stuff at Victorias Secret. I got home around 5 and went oh holy hell I totally forgot about this today. I'll have to set my calander to give me a reminder. I have the attention of a squirrll sometimes.

I was banded on 4-22-2010 and have been looking for a support group. I would love to joing your group if there is still room for one more. I live in Alvin, so please send me time and place of next meeting and I will be there. I am so happy I stumbled across your posts. God Bless!!
