Thank you Delaware Support Groups

Elissa, You have an idea there....Perhaps I should bring another post op with me....What will she say I can't have a post op supporter from another program at this meeting? Although the more I think about it the less I like the idea of going. Its very disappointing to me. I feel a great loss from this action. Funny thing is I don't think many people at that table knew he was my support person attending this function. Most of them I never saw before that night. I will say one guy knew he was a support person. The Director knew this too..... They are a Center of Excellance for this surgery....hmmmm support stuff seems to be lacking big time. I did voice my opinion and she shared her thoughts. I guess we agree to disagree. And I am okay with that. You are right there are plenty of other meetings and I have always enjoyed the DE meetings alot. I have a new family with you guys and do enjoy you all. Its so nice to walk in a room and have everyone smile and say hi to you and ask where you have been when you miss a meeting! Who needs Philly....I got DE! Hugs and Fleece Blankets, Debbie PS. Enjoy North NJ!

Debbie, They are the real losers here. Spouses and family are always welcome at every meeting I have attended. You are so lucky to have Tim by your side at the meetings, gym , ect. I would love for my husband to attend meetings. I think family members are such a great addition to our groups. I am so proud of you for taking your stand. You are a true star and will always shine. See you lighter. Joanne

Joanne, HUGS and THANKS! You are right they are the real losers there. I stated my case and I feel very strongly about it. You are right our family is important and its good to have them interact with us! My husband has enjoyed being with everyone! Exercising with friends is great! Hugs and Thermal Blanket Debbie

Debbie, I am going to have to get my husband to come to one meeting with Tim. I think it might make him understand more. Since my husband has never had a weigh problem he has so much to learn. He is very supportive in everything I do but does he understand my struggles? I don't think so. I don't think he even has the slightest ideal. I was always very good at handling my struggles on my own and not sharing them as many of us have done. Take care! I'm going to have to take a trip to a meeting in Wilmington sometime soon. It is so nice to see everyone. See you lighter. Joanne
