Hazelbunny 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Hey JosieB Katygirl here - think a local group is a great idea. Were you at Spivak's tonight - I was there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JosieK 120 Posted April 18, 2007 hi hazelb, actually i didnt go. i really wanted to see the cosmetic surgeon but i didnt feel like driving that far. last thursday night i went to see dr S and got lost coming home. how was it? actually there is a potential katy group starting from the other website "houston bandsters.com it's a hard site to get around....doesnt have forums and topics like this one so it's hard (or maybe i'm missing something) do you want me to forward the email to you or give the person organizing your email? let me know. after this i will go on the site to see if i can find how to direct you to the girl she is just trying to come up with sites to meet and days. it's 8 people so far have a good night joanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SchexyMomma 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Hi there, fellow Katyites! I also live in Katy and would love to have a support group close to home, but... I am keeping my surgery *super-private. Only my husband knows. So as much as I want to join you guys, I don't feel like I can right now. Maybe as time goes by, I'll ease up. Can you keep posting your meeting times here so I can be included when ready? *please note that I have decided to keep this private from friends and family because, mainly, my MIL has a very, very big mouth and tons of opinions... and I just can't handle being watched and having to endure comments fabout every bite of food and every ounce of weight for the rest of my life. Oh, and she also lives in Katy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duckieduck 0 Posted May 24, 2007 I am having my surgery on June 1. Would like to get in touch with a support group in the Katy area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duckieduck 0 Posted May 25, 2007 Does this group really meet at the coffeeshop? If not let's start a group starting next Thursday, May 30th. Anyone who is reading this can join us. We can meet whatever time most convenient to everyone. I work so it will have to be after 5 PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KatyRedRaider 0 Posted February 12, 2008 Is this group still meeting? I am strongly considering the band, but and new to all of this. I'd love to hear stories about how it is for everyone. I live in the Katy area and would love to meet with a group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrslewis2004 0 Posted March 1, 2008 Live in Katy and I'm curious as to how many groups there are in Katy. I was just banded two days ago. I feel great but I'm scared to death about dehydration and eating to much. I've lived on sugar free popsicles and special k drink, sugar free Jello, broth and good ol H2O.. I'm open to any and all advice. I had it done at North Cypress Medical Center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
