Hi, All! Mon. night, 1/30, is the 5th Mon. of the month, so the support group meeting at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown (6:30 - 7:30 p.m.) is supposed to be led by the program dietician, but I've just found out that she's resigning her position. I don't know when her resignation is effective, so I don't know if she'll be there Mon. night or not. For that matter, the weather forecasters are predicting anything from just rain to sleet to snow to a mix for Mon., so who knows if there'll even be a meeting. I hate winter! If there is a meeting, it's for both pre- and post-ops. If I'm there, I'll be part of a group going out for dinner afterward (unless we come out of the meeting and the weather's gotten bad). If anyone needs directions, please e-mail me. If and when I know more about Mon. night, I'll post again. Have a good weekend, Debby

I wasn't sure if I could say anything about that or not- Dr Aranow gave me the news Friday when I saw him- he was none to happy. She's only been there a year right? His question was did I know any good dieticians.....unfortunately no. But I will keep my ears open. The practice relies very much on dietician teaching and follow up - so it is a huge void. Do you know what the pre-oppers are going to do? (Aside from read and follow South Beach, which I did- that's about all I preach to my patients now, I am like an ex-smoker now who preaches to smokers about the big C except my spiels are on diet- relentless about the evils of carbohydrates, and white flour. ) Monday the 30th and Monday Feb 6th are my daughters' Ansley and Mary (respectively) 8th and 9th birthdays- so I shant be at the mtgs, however I am going to grace the Tuesday monthly post op group with my prescence in my debut at that meeting. Shall I go formal?

Hi Debby, Ut oh. The dietician is resigning? I'm a pre-op and had an appointment with her for February 13th. I wonder if they'll find a replacement by then. I guess I should call the office to see if my appointment is still on. Hope you are well. Angie

Hey Angie- well I know on Friday January 27th she gave 2 weeks notice that day. So yeah I think she might be gone by the 13th- I don't know what the RD demand is- if its anything like nursing....but he may at least borrow a RD from the hospital or something who knows. Wish I knew a good RD. I would say if you can lose the weight he wanted you to- you don't even need to worry about it too much pre-op wise- how is it going? South Beach- my two words of advice to everybody. It works pre-op- it really does. Today my 2nd daighter turns 8- which means I have two 8 year olds for the next week. (My oldest turns 9 next Monday- they are Irish twins) (After several years of infertility and 4 misscarriages I had two children within a year- it was fun just to see the jaws fall to the ground when Mary was 4 months old and I announced my pregnancy with Ansley....even more fun when I gave birth to the 4th child three weeks after MAry had her 5th birthday- people wondered if I knew what I was doing)) So I won't be at support group tonight- dying to know if Elina is going to do her 5th Monday thing there tonight or not. Oh well.

Hiya Bernadette! Happy Birthday to your Ansley!!! Also an early birthday wish for Mary! You have your hands full! Enjoy your two 8 year olds for a week! OMG.. I'm trying to remember when my sons were that young.. they are now 17 & 20 and it seems like a life time ago!! Enjoy them all! I did go to the support group tonight and Elina did run it. It was the first time I met her. Today Wendy from Dr. A's office called me to ask if I wanted to change my appt. from the 13th to the 7th. I guess they are trying to fit in all the pre-ops who havent had their meeting with her. You know, it amazes me that insurance doesn't cover the dietician's visit when you are going for weight loss surgery?!!!!! Does that make any sense to you???!!! Thanks for the info on South Beach. I have been watching what I eat but was on the fence on whether or not I wanted to start on Atkins, South Beach or Weigh****chers. Thanks for your response and enjoy the birthday parties mom!! Angie : )
