Keep me posted on specifics.:clap2:

Sorry i just saw this message. Everyone one in my house has been sick for weeks so i have been trying to get them well so the support group has been out the window.
I tried before trying to work with everyone's schedule and that did not go well. It hink what i might do is set maybe 2 dates and see how that goes ?
Maybe one during the day and one in the evening ?

I will try to do that soon

Mindy,

I would love to join the support group. Just like you, I noticed that there are no local Austin WLS support groups. Let me know if you have started with meetings yet. I am in!

Mindy,

Would it be okay for me to come if I have not been banded yet? I am waiting for my appoitment at Southwest Bariatric on March 4. It has seemed like forever, but I am on my way.

Hello, My name is Vicky Barberena, I live in RR; and I am in the progress of being scheduled for my surgery in May 2008. I would like to find more people who have been dealing with similar issues and undergone WLS. Please let me know about the meetings. I am seeing the people at True Results off Parmer Lane, as far as I know my surgeon will be Dr. Gonzalez.

Thanks

I hope everyone's journey is going well - I just had surgery on Monday. Other than one issue with nausea last night - I have been doing great! Since starting my pre-op diet, I have lost a total of 17 lbs and going.

For anyone considering the surgery, or having a few weeks/months to go - I emphatically suggest doing it. WELL worth it - and the recovery seems to be going smoothly!

Feel free to email me anytime on my personal email as well - cuteaustingirl4@yahoo.com

I cannot make the support group meeting this week - as I cannot drive until next week. But - I want to be part of the next one!

Have a great week everyone!

Keep the faith!

Can we get a last call for the meeting tomorrow night ? Just wanted to remind everyone about it . Its fine with me as well if there is only 1 or 2 people.
Also if you would like to bring your favorite band friendly dish/snack ect feel free or if you would like to bring it on a recipe card feel free.
I will provide drinks. This wont be a big spread this time since i am low on cash this week. ( Sorry )
Anyway .. Let me know if your coming
