Just Relocated from TN to Brandon, FL - Support Group?
Hi!
I am now an official Florida resident. I live in Brandon, FL and am wanting information on a local support group and Doctor recommendations.
Today is my 3 month anniversary and I am down from 279 to now 223! At this point I think I should be down more than 50+, but at this point I will take it! Three weeks after my surgery date my brother called me in Tennessee to tell me that he was very ill and asked that I come and help him fight the lymphomia cancer that he was diagnosed with. Brother died on December 22nd and has left both my mom and I devestated (he was 35) thus my move to Florida. I spent 3.5 weeks in the hospital 24/7 with Brother and was not able to stick to the pureered stage as the hospital was not very accomodating.
I am missing Knoxville, TN very much but would welcome some FL email WLS buddies as I am starting over from scratch it seems.

Rachelle,
I am not in your area but wanted to say Welcome to FL! It is a great place but way different than TN. I have only been to TN twice for a two day visit but really liked it there. I am yearning to go back! I was just last night looking at the Dollywood website! I also have heard there is a great aquarium in Knoxville. Maybe you could tell me a little about TN.
I am so sorry about your brother. I know it must have meant a lot to him to have you with him during his struggle.
There are a lot of nice people on this board so I hope we can help you to be more comfortable here in the Sunshine state!

Rachelle,
I am very sorry to hear about your brother....I'm sure it was physically and emotional exhausting for both you and your mother.
My hometown is Knoxville....Go VOLS
I have lived in SO.FL for 9 years and I luv it. We get back to Knoxville (really Gatlinburg) at least once a year....I love shopping in Pigeon Forge!
Since I live pretty much at the other end of the state....I'm not close enough to know about support groups in your area but the FL messageboard is full of great people from all over the state who can maybe give you that information.
Congratulations on your weight loss and I know that being able to get back into a routine of proper food and exercise will help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Have a great day~~ luvitsunnyv
