Wanting to Start A Houston (Westchase, Katy, Highway 6) Support Group

[munchkincan 0]

I sent you a private message and then was told you don't accept private messages. So I will sent my message this way. I think the idea of a Katy area group is wonderful and I would love to do anything at all to help get it off the ground. There are so many places in Katy we could meet. Lots of great restaurants and plenty of Starbucks. Let me know if I can help in any way. The support groups that meet in the Dr.s office I don't think are very helpful. They for the most part tend to work for the Dr. and of course are not going to say anything negative or give much attention to your problems or any pains you are having with the band. They only want to hear success. However, if a group of us get together that have all had the surgery by different Dr.s at different times I think the feed back would be really helpful to all of us. Good and Bad stories. Lets get this going ASAP. August is just 5 days away. My surgery is August 1.

Hi,

I am not sure who started this idea but I wonder how it is going. It seems to me we have enough people interested that we should get it started. What are we waiting for.

Ok, I think we need the Leader of the group to set the date and time for the first meeting. Ummmm...Who is the Leader? Ok well let me know.

[munchkincan 0]

Yes, that is a very good question. Who is the leader???

Hi all – great to see the responses – ok – looks like through the week after work would be good for everyone.

Let’s say 6:30 pm on Monday, August 6th – Agonzalesjoy – can you suggest a coffeehouse? (This is not set in stone though)

Munchkinkan (Nancy) – I apologize – I hadn’t set my preferences to email, but it’s on now.

I thought it would be a great idea to have a group, so I suggested it, but I’m not sure I’m the best to be the leader – would love to assist the leader though – lol.

So, if there’s anyone who has the time and inclination, you’re most welcome to pick up the baton. (fingers crossed) - J

Let me know what you think

Or if there is a restaurant that has a good patio anyone knows of where we could sit and talk- Monday sounds good!

Hi everyone,

Do we really need a "leader". I think we just need to agree on a time and place every month or every two weeks or whatever the majority of those interested decide. Some months more will show up some months less. And if it doesn't work out after a few months those of us who show up will know and we will just dis band. We are lucky that we have this thread. We can make decisions as a group pretty much on the spot. I will be happy to help in any way I can. I just completed a year as local President of a Houston organization. Please don't missunderstand this statement. I am not volunteering for the job.. just saying that I think in this instance where by-laws, rules, blah blah blah etc are not involved we can probably do this without a "leader".

I am just so excited that this might really happen. I need a support group. I am only one day away from my surgery and I am scared to death of taking this huge step. I need all the help and support I can get.:help:

Oh my God Becca. A patio??? Outside??? August??? Houston??? Are you one of those lucky girls that heat doesn't bother? Just the thought of sitting outside in August will drive me away even from a reallly good meal. Please can't we find an inside place??:think

Good luck Munkincan on your surgery tomorrow. I'm sure you're come through with flying colors!!!!

Welcome to Bandster Heaven!!

<p><p>I guess I was just thinking that most coffee shops are small and mostpeople usually sit outside there. I am completely fine with anyplace! No, I don't like the heat!</p></p>

hi

i would love to come to this meeting. i am in katy.

i am fairly new to texas so i'm not too familiar with places to hold the meeting. i did attend the other yahoo meeting which was in a starbucks but it was tough to talk in there.

i agree...once we get a time and place not sure if a leader is needed.

look forward to meeting you guys

Well, we've got the date and time - Monday, August 6th - around 6:30, 7 ish.

Anyone want to name the place?
