Hi Everyone From Austin, TX

[coltonwade 27]

Hello,

The group has members from all different types of surgeries, lap band, gastric bypass, and gastric Sleeve; we talk as a whole group first and then we separated into small groups per surgery type and then we discuss or ask questions to our mates.

The next meeting is next Thursday feb.12,2009 @ 6pm.

If its seperated out that might not be so bad. the probelm that seems to happen when support group meetings are combined with surgeries is it gets nasty very quickly with " my surgery is better than yours" or " OH I can eat that YOU cant" kind of stuff. So that's why i asked. I would like to meet maybe in someone's homes or restrurants, but its up to others I dont care ?

Hello Mindy,

Not at all...I have been attending the group since September and everybody is very, very supportive and respectfull about the desicion of others in having any type of surgery. But I understand your point, it is completely valid for me too.

We still can get together, I am open to do that too...I was just passing oot the info about the group since it is already going on.

Please if you form a group, let me kow to see if i can attend your meetings.

I would love to...

Thanks

Vicky

Hi all. I'm actually looking into WLS and live in Austin, TX. I'm considering going to SW Bariatrics. Looking at RNY gastric bypass. Any recommendations or suggestions? I would appreciate any advice

Yes. They totally close and I had two appointments left. They called me the Saturday before my 5th appointment the following Tuesday. Not only that, but when they sent over my 'records' they didn't send the psych eval, even though they said they would.
