Austin Folks - are any of you out there?

I'm Niki, I'm new around here. I'm from Austin and I was wondering if there were any other Austin folks around. I see so many Dallas people and they are so supportive. I was wondering if we could have an Austin meetup and get to know each other.

And please let me know if I'm just late on the train and this is already in action some where.

I'm near Houston, not Austin, but I wanted to welcome you to TMB!

Austin here! 

There is also an Austin VSG group..

I can help spread the word if you want to coordinate a meet-up.

Hey we're both using Ganta. What are your thoughts on him so far?

I feel really lucky to have found him.  He's a great doctor, and took me on as a patient when another doctor had done my lapband.

Yey, I'm glad you've had a good experience. I'm super excited. Is there a way to friend you on here? I can't find your profile.

Hi Niki,  I live in South Austin....I've had trouble finding Austinites here too!
I'm on schedule to have WLS in April 2010 but I'm wanting to find a group now so I can get into the habit of "support"...and of course I'm trying to learn all that I can before the BIG day happens.

Next month I will attend a support group that is held at St. David's hospital. Let me know if
you want more info and I'll send you what I have found so far...

Cheers, Tee

Tee, I live in south austin too.

I'm scheduled for dec 22nd. Exciting huh. I should be getting out of the hospital on christmas eve.

Maybe we can get austin people together and have a meetup in January.

How exciting for you!!!  WOW next week is almost here!!!

Can't wait to hear from you on what it's like for you!

Who is your doctor? 

Cheers, Tee
