Hi Amanda, Welcome to the area! I am both a patient and the Bariatric Coordinator for Morton Plant Mease. I love the idea of a casual meet and greet not associated with a support group meeting. I would be more than willing to help organize one. Email me if you are interested! Julie

Julie I think that would be a great idea!

Welcome to the area. I'm still pre-op gonna be post op on Sept 1st though. I dont attend as many of the support groups as I should. Palms of Pasadena is just too far to drive every month with my already jam packed saturdays ^.^ but I go when I can.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!
