well first, lemme welcome you to the BEST board on OH! Congrats on your sleeve.  In the mornings, check out the WLS Express thread. Its literally everymorning and we all use it to catch up on each oter. Great way to get to know all of us fruitcakes lol  WE have quite a few austin folks. Jeri lives in Round Rock, are you near there?? And again Maida gets a lil dinner together once every few months in austin somewhere to get everyone together. Oh also, if you wanna do an imprompto for coffee some, just POST a new thread.. i guarantee someone will respond lol. 
Cruise Director Julie  and her hubs Mikey are in san Antonio, Becky H is in New braunsfels (sp??) and :Lisa is in that area as well. Please forgive my typing, i have a migraine and my meds just kicked in lol. I know i have left someone out lol.  Oh and Sharyn is on in BFE that area as is Lola (anne) something as well. I know all of them in person and they are great folks. I strongly suggest you attend. 
Also approx once ever 2-3 months theres a  great dinner and after thing at Loralea's home. Dinner is hosted by Charlene then loralea is kind enough to open her home to all of us (its kid friendly if you have lil people) We usually have anywhere from 70 - 120 people attending that one. If you can possibly swing that dinner, its well worth it. Just prepared to have the stuffin squeezed outta you lol
Read the WLS express in the mornings, and chime in, tell us about yourself! We wont bite and love new folks!!!
in case you havent noticed, the support from these folks will get you thru a lot in this journey, even if its nothing to do with weight loss! and feel free to ask ANYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING! Lord knows NOTHING is sacred around here. Whatever problems you have.. one of us has been there and done that :)
Looking forward to reading your post on the train in the morning

Thanks for such a warm welcome...This is just what the doctor ordered.  I was getting lonely over here in sleeveville---I will definitely be a regular at this board.  Thanks--I'm gonna check out Morning thread.  Thanks again!

Hi and welcome!  I'm trying like the dickens to get a support group together for our area (North Austin, RR and Georgetown--and anyone else who wants to come).  I'm taking OH Support Group Leader training in May.  I'm not looking for anything formal...but a meet-up every couple of weeks at a Starbucks or something.  There will be topics, but as I said...totally informal.

let me know what you think.

I would love to be in your support group...I just replied to another message saying this very thing before I read this one...I'm so glad its friday..My brain needs a break!
I did attend one support group in Cedar Park at the Regional Hospital--but it was a joke--they basically made me feel like a weirdo since I went to Mexico for my surgery--it was definitely not SUPPORTIVE TO ME--so I hope I dont get that same kind of crap anywhere else.  I had a safe, wonderful surgery experience with Dr. Guiellermo Alvarez in Mexico and would do it again in a hearbeat I had no complications and am doing great!

Hey Jenn...sorry I don't know anything about any San Antonio groups.  You're more than welcome to join us in Austin once we get going.  I know it's far to travel but we'd love to have you!
