Did anyone ever start a tarrant co. Support group? I'm willing to co-host a group with someone else on say Saturday mornings? PM me here is anyone is interested!

Any more word on the Tarrant County group?

No. No one ever sent me messages

It is hard to believe that no one will come on here and look!! I saw this and came right away!!!! I would LOVE to have something in Tarrant County. DFW is a nice way to say where we are.. but I am FROM Fort Worth!

Hey guys!

I put together an interest survey to get some information from you guys. If you are interested in meeting up, please complete this short survey to help us plan our support group meeting. Thanks!

Hi, Im Deborah. I just signed up and completed your survey. I would LOVE to attend group support meetings and would do so on a regular basis if I found the meetings interesting and helpful. Please send information of any in the DFW area that you may know of. Thanks so much

Hi all!

I have volunteered to be a leader of the DFW chapter.

About me:

My name is Kris and I live in Irving with my husband and two sons, ages 10 and almost-5. I work full-time as a pharmacy technician in a call center. I go to school online full-time as well. In my spare time (what spare time?), I write a blog at BariatricCeliac.com. Eventually, I hope that my blog becomes a good resource for both Celiacs and those interested in bariatric surgery alike. I had gastric bypass on May 20, 2014, so I'm still pretty new to all this.

As you can see, I already keep pretty busy. However, I am passionate about being able to have people to lean on during all phases of their bariatric journey. Since our area is so large and since I am newer to the world of bariatrics, I would be thrilled if someone else would be willing to co-lead with me. One thing I love about Irving is that it is so centrally located in the metroplex. Would anyone be opposed to meeting somewhere in Irving?

I would love to hear any and all ideas about our meetings, and I can't wait to meet y'all!

Congrats (and thanks) for taking up the lead for the DFW chapter. Happy to get your meeting added to the DFW Support Groups meeting list that is circulated around DFW if you'd like, just let me know once you've determined a location and date(s) and time(s).

Looking forward to attending your first meeting!

I would like information as to whether there are meetings organized in the DFW area. If so, I would certainly attend. Please send information to me as to Dates, Time, Location.

There are several support groups that I attend in the NE Plano area. Near Allen, Frisco, Richardson. We have one guy that drives from Forney to attend. There's a group of us that have impromptu get togethers as well. Ten of us met today at an area Starbucks, we do things like this on a fairly regular basis. If you're interested, email me at curt_frisbie@msn.com and I'll add you to our list, I'll make sure you're included.

I would love to join in group get togethers! I sent an email to you from

Thank you,

Deborah

<p>Has anyone thought about where we could meet? Restaurant, church, someone's home?</p>

I'm kind of leaning more toward church, library, public school -- something like that which will be free or cheap. My own home is not large enough to host people... I'm not opposed to a restaurant, but it may be tough to find one with a separate room (that also happens to be bariatric friendly).

I am interested in meeting everyone. Please let me know of any scheduled Get Togethers. That would be fun, and helpful for all of us. Please send information to me @

dmorrison2253@yahoo.com

Thank you, and looking forward to your responses : )

I'm in East Dallas, and I definitely wouldn't mind finding support groups East of 75! My surgeon does meetings in Denton, but I just can't stomach driving an hour there in traffic and an hour back, especially since I already drive an hour to work and an hour and a half hone!

I live in Arlington and work in Irving (161/MacArthur). I haven't been able to get to any of the meetings at my surgeon's office yet, but am planning to try again next week. I'd love to see area groups get started that maybe aren't affiliated with a surgeon's group. I know restaurants are a common meetup place, and that could be problematic for this type of group, but there are other options.
