Cheryldee 13 Posted March 29, 2012 I was actually online today looking for a support group because I am new to the area. I heard of a group called Houston Bandsters... but tried to call the number on the website and it was disconnected... so I sent one of the contacts an email to see if they still meet and the when and where. I will let you know when I hear back. The website was h3wellness.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GOogle bariatics support group at m Memorial Herman hospital woodlands tx and it should come up with contact number they meet every other thurs. it is open to all types of surgery so lap band gets bashed a lot of time in those. Maybe we could try to start a coffee group in our area. And meet up once a month or even twice ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheryldee 13 Posted March 30, 2012 I got a failure message from my email to the Houston Bandsters that I was trying to locate. I think that center must have relocated or just gone out of business. So Im not sure if there is a band support group here in our area or not. I called today and am going to start going to a lap band Dr. off of 242. I have to get all my records transfered and all that. But I will ask them next week if there is a support group out of thier office. But I am also game for just starting one for our area. Obviously if there isnt one.. maybe we could start one and gain some more members! Im sure there are others in our area who could benefit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
