Jeannie, Thank you very much for the meeting information. I can not attend becuase I work 1pm - 10pm everyday (Mon - Fri). Maybe one day I will be able to make it. Heather

Heather,  If you really are in need of some kind of SUPPORT. Just remember that I'm to just a e-mail or phone call away. Hug's Jeannie

Thank you so much. I have no one around me that has had any type of weight loss surgery. It is nice to see that there are folks out there to chat with and get support from. I am sure you will hear from me. Heather

Please feel free! I'm here for you and all of the others that I help along the way. This JOURNEY IS something really GREAT and I know that you will do well. I do not know if you have looked at my profile any but if you would take a chance you will get to know me a little better. I had no support when I started and now I have many OH-Friends. Hug's

this group is open to anyone.  It is a great group and they have an online site tooo.....
