Looking for a support group in the Conroe/Woodlands area

Hi,

Does anyone know of a support group that meets in the Conroe/Woodlands area? Or any group relatively close to this area?

Thanks,

Carolyn

There is a support group that meets at MMH The Woodlands I believe the third Wednesday of each month in a room near the cafeteria.

My close friend, Andrea, helps to lead is and has given me permission to list her cell phone number so that you may call her for information.  You can read Andrea at:  1.281.799.4522

I hope this helps!

:-) 

There is also a support group meeting at St. Luke's The Woodlands that meets the 1st Tuesday every month @ 6:00PM in the meeting rooms behind the cafeteria.

Actaully I facilitate the group with Andrea and starting this month the meeting was moved to the third Thursday.....so it is not today it is tomorrow.  We would love to have you join us.  it is open to anyone pre or post op, regardless of surgeon or surgery type.  We will hae samples of protein ice cream at the meeting yum! 

So pm me if you need more infromation.  It may be difficult  to reach Andrea for the next few days.

Hello to everyone,

The other person that responded is right, it has moved to Thursday nights at 6:30 pm.  I got an e-mail yesterday about the meeting.  I am looking for a support group also and I called the lady (cannot remember her name) last week and she said I was welcome.  I had my surgery at St. Lukes downtown and they have one on the 3rd Thursday of every month at 6:00, it is just to hard to get there at that time with work. 

They said that people are welcome that had surgery at another hospital.  I am glad that I am not the only one that will be there that did not have surgery at Memorial Hermann.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

yes, any hopstal ....any surgeon.  In fact Andrea did not have surgery at MH The Woodlands and many of the members have had there surgeries all over.   So we would love to have you join us!!!  You will not be the only one in fact having had surgery here is actually the minority at most of the meetings LOL!

 

By the way was is Rebecca that you spoke to?

I had my bypass about 15 mos. ago and recently moved to Spring, so I look forward to going to a meeting.  Thanks for posting this info.

I am having some issues with my stomach, food, and nausea right now.  I am wondering if someone can recommend me a physician in this area?  My current one is in DFW.


Thanks!

My surgeon is at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands, Dr. Balette and actually he started out at Baylor.  Anyway I will have contact information for you tomorrow at the meeting or you can pm me for the info.  I know that he has taken other patients from other drs as well.

Yes, it was Rebecca that called me last week.

Looking forward to meeting you on Thursday evening.

She mentioned to me that she spoke to someone that is why I asked!  Can't wait to meet you!
