Topic: How to get the AR board more active?...
Hello there again Everyone!

So, I have been pondering for several days - HOW to get the AR board more active?  This is the perfect place to make local contacts and support one another - and so many of us are in such need of support, not only myself but countless others - without knowing who is out there...

So what can we do?  There has to be a way...  Get more folks involved on this board.  When I was in Los Angeles (OK I know the size of the city is so different), there was lots of daily activity ranging from recipe sharing, to product recommendations, to support needs, to all kinds of things.  I hate to think that we are any less in need or are any different here in Arkansas.

So let's have some feedback.  What do YOU think?  I know we have a monthly support group at the hospital, but is that really enough?  Do any of you feel alone or are having a harder time like I am, where you think you might benefit from getherings more than once a month?

I feel so isolated sometimes.

Speak up, gang! :) :) :)

Peace and love,

Michael

Wow that's and excellent weight loss!!  I already know my insurance will not pay for the sleeve but I am working on that as of know.

I have talked with my husband and if we can't get the insurance to pay for it, we probably will.

Topic: Support Group in Fort Smith
We finally have a support group in Fort Smith.  The next meeting will be Tuesday, April 13th at 5:30.  We meet at the Elite 24 Fitness Club.  It is in the Central Mall parking lot next to Chuckie Cheese.  We would like to invite all interested people in the Fort Smith area to attend.

Gena,
I had the sleeve from Dr. Roller over two years ago.  I have lost 140 pounds.  He is wonderful.  I would recommend him highly.  I was happy with the sleeve, but I had to pay myself.

Stephanie, I'm so touched by your post! Thank you so much. Obviously, I'm not here much as you've noticed. It's hard to be a cheerleader without a team. I guess I started feeling pretty stupid posting every day with no one responding. I guess I finally got the message and stopped. Took me long enough, heh?

Anyway, I want to wish you the very best on your upcoming surgery with Dr Baker. Have you come to the pre-op support group meeting and not introduced yourself? Please make sure you do if you come to one!

Best of luck and good wishes,
Susan

Welcome back Mike.  You did the right thing.  Check out the back on track board too.  I'm thinking about it myself.  Getting a little too lax with the carbs.  I haven't gained any weight back but still haven't gotten down to my goal weight yet.  Good luck and glad to have you aboard.

I know what you mean!

I'd post this on the plastic surgery forum and see what they have to say!

Welcome to AR and the board and congratulations!

We do have a support group that meets in Little Rock on the 2nd Thursday of every month at Baptist Medical Center.  We'd love to see you there!
