Spring/Woodlands Area?

[Gone4Now 4]

Hi there...Is anyone near Spring/Woodlands? I'm off Cypresswood in Spring, and am looking for local banders. Let me know if you're out there.

:ranger:

Hi ya. I was banded a few days before you by Richard Wilkenfeld in his Conroe office. I'd LOVE to find some local folks to chat with! I live in Dobbin, but my office is in Conroe. You?

I thought I'd posted to this...but I guess it got lost. Sorry if you receive this twice.

I was banded by Dr. Jason Balette, from the Surgical Group of the Woodlands. He's great! I really do love him and his office staff. Good people!

I live in Spring, near 45 and 1960 and I work in the Jersey Village area (near 8 and 290).

How are you doing since surgery? Have you been filled yet? I had my first on Friday, and boy! I feel it!

Where is Dobbin? I moved from VA in June 2006, and am still unfamiliar with the areas around Houston.

I got my second fill yesterday. The clear liquid diet I'm supposed to be on today was horrible. My stomach GROWLED all day. I just ate about 8 Doritos and feel ridiculous. I know this will work, but I feel like I'm not doing my part. God knows that if my willpower were intact I wouldn't be here...I've got a 4 cc band with 1.8 cc in it at this point. I'm sure I'll be going back in a couple weeks for another fill. I need some RESTRICTION!

Dobbin is a tiny, little town west of Montgomery, west of Lake Conroe. I work in Conroe, though. And that's no where from where you live. We should meet for supper one night. That is, if I ever learn how to eat with this contraption (I'm just being fussy. I'm still so happy to have my band).

I would love to meet and have some band talk! I try to discuss it w/my friends and family and they just look at me.

That would be great. Also, instant support during the day would be wonderful. Do you use Yahoo Messenger? We could IM.

I go to Houston once or twice a month. Actually, I've got an appointment in The Woodlands 2:00 on Saturday. You won't be anywhere in the area, will you?

Blessings, Fellow Traveler!

Hi girls! I live in Spring and would love to meet up with people in my area. Let's try to get together sometime in the weeks coming up...

[Gone4Now 4]

Hi, Hadee! I love your name!

What part of Spring? I'm close to 45/1960.

What a beautiful morning it is! Of course, I nearly slept it away...I just got up. Spring, huh? I have a friend that keeps an office in Old Town Spring and I come up there fairly often. I'd love to meet you (and you, too, Rhonda). We should set up a play date to meet at Old Town Spring.

[Gone4Now 4]

I love Old Town Spring. I've only been there once, though, almost a year ago.

Name the time and place, and I'll be there if my daughter's soccer game allows.

I live down the road from Old Town Spring! Just over on the other side of 45. I love when Old Town Spring starts getting ready for Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year! Anytime is good for me too. I don't have kids so ya'll squeeze me into your schedule...

Hi, Haydee and Marie -

I would love to schedule a day/time. I'm booked on Saturdays for a while. I could do a Friday night or Sunday afternoon (not Nov 4th - we're going to RenFest).

I'm not all that familiar with Old Town, but I can find it if you want to pick the place.

I would absolutely LOVE to meet you ladies. Unfortunately, we are going into the busiest time of year around here. Also unfortunate is the fact that we REALLY need each other around the holidays. Maybe if we sort of keep our options open, we can coordinate something in spite of our schedules? I will be out and about running errands this next weekend for sure. I'm having a huge gathering at my home on Nov. 10th and am no where near prepared. But after that, I plan to slow up a bit. Even if the holidays are bearing down on us!

I'm going in tomorrow afternoon for the 2nd fill. Lord, I hope this one gives me a little restriction. I've been eating everything that didn't get up and run from me.

I do feel a little isolated. No one but us knows what the heck is going on with this thing...

Blessings, sisters!

Where did you move from VA? I moved from Fairfax County. Banded in May, down 54lbs live in Sterling Ridge of the Woodlands. I too would love a more casual, local group to get with. I just posted the note about the "North Houston Bandsters" group. Never been to a meeting yet (the coordinator has been busy) so perhaps we can meet at this one. -Rachel

Ladies, I just found out about one. It's the North Houston Bandsters group (I think). Anyway, you can email steph_77373@yahoo.com for the location. See my other post for more details. -Rachel
