It has been dead a long time . I was thinking the same thing way back at how all the oldies (not in age ) :) had left the board .
I guess people get a new life when they are done with their journey in the weight loss and move on.
I think this may fall under "People who come into your life for just a season".
Sad but true ....
Have a blessed weekend

I have not given up on the reunion.  Maybe late summer or early fall while it is still warm and sunny.   Maybe we can all get together the middle of summer.

Topic: RE: Wine ?
It concerns me even more that the number of gastric bypass patients that continue to drink and start drinking more and more, thus causing cross addiction (food for alcohol).  The cons are far more greater than pros where this issue is concerned.  Why take the risk, especially after going thru such evasive surgery to lost weight.  Alcohol is nothing but pure sugar no matter how you look at it.  Someone that is offered alcohol as a social function can always decline and ask for water or tea instead.  There should be no problems for saying a simple "NO"!  I just don't understand.

Oh Louise, I do hope so.  The reunions were always the highlight of our year. Those were the special times I will never forget.  When people can learn to act right and not take people for granted and just be themselves instead of someone they think others want them to be, then this world will be a much better place. I think we have all grown older and wiser during this process and hope everyone can admit their mistakes and learn from them and those of others.  There's nothing like a fool, than an OLD FOOL.  We must live, learn and forget and for some of us that's near impossible, but it can be done by the grace of God.  With God, ALL things are possible.

Elle I really miss the dinners and social functions we used to have.  I have tried to get dinners together and people will say they will be there or either say maybe and then not show.  I have just given up.   Maybe one day all of this can be forgotten and we can go back to the love and support that we used to have and show.  I was so hoping we could do the reunion this year but it does not look possible.

I have always been told also no alcohol by my doctor and have also heard the same thing at all the seminars that I have ever attended.    It just really worries me when the gastric bypass patient drinks because of the problems you can have with the liver.  With the small amount of stomach we now have it dumps more quickly into the liver and we now have more of a problem with liver damage.

I cannot believe my eyes.  I am shocked at the way this board has DIED! No wonder it's happened.  Goodness, nearly every person I made friends with here has screwed someone over and over and OVER again.  This once was a wonderful, thriving, zealous, board full of wonderful love, support and friendship. We had get togethers as least once a month and some areas more often than others.  It's such a shame how scandalous and conniving some people can be.  I am so glad I have the true love of Jesus in MY heart and not out to get "anyone" for "anything".  It's a shame the way people take others for granted.  I truly miss the (what I thought at the time) love and support others had to offer and I thought I had a lot to offer in the way of support as well, being so far out as I was/am.  I still consider myself a 100% success in my gastric bypass nearly 9 years ago.  I am also sorry that I gave so much time to people that truly were not who they projected themselves to be in any shape form or fashion.  To those of you that are newcomers, I hope that you find the love and support you need.  God be with you all.

well, aren't you just the wine connoisseur?  I was told NO ALCOHOL of any sort, shape form or fashion by my expertise of a doctor.  Nearly 9 years later and he still sticks by this GOLDEN RULE.

There is a bypass group that meets in Huntsville at the Hsv hospital wellness center the first Thursday of the month at 6 pm. I think they meet again the middle of the month at 10 am but not sure the day
