I missed the Starbucks get-together

I'm sooooo sorry girls. I had a last minute teleconference scheduled, but I thought I could still get there just a little later. My conference ended at 9:20 and I headed out shortly after, but I didn't get around to the NEX area until about 9:50ish. I drove around to see if I saw any familiar faces...when I didn't I figured yall were probably gone by then. I'm so sorry...I hope to be able to meet yall again soon though. Dana

Hey Dana, We were there till around 11 AM but we had sat inside on the comfy sofa and chair. Sorry we missed you!! It was great to get to meet Steffie and Jessica though and hopefully next time you will be able to come and your friend to! and maybe a few more from here can make it as well. Its nice to be able to talk about our journeys (rather we are pre-op or post-op) and the other person(s) actually can relate to what you are talking about. Anyway, I am ready for the next get together (already!) so lets not wait to long to plan something. Dana, when do you find out your date? I read on your profile you were hoping to find out in Sept. Keep us posted!! Kim

Kim... I was so bumed...and I didn't realized that I didn't ask for anyones cell number or anything until I was there and didn't see anyone that looked familiar. Futhermore...it didn't even dawn on me that yall might be inside...lol. It was one of those days though... I think it may have had a lot to do with having to get up so early. But I hope yall plan to get together really soon and I'd love to come. I have my next appointment on Wednesday September 6th...I have had basically everything I needed to have done (EKG, blood work and what not) so I pray that it'll be then or really soon. When I originally went for my first appointment they told me I'll have the surgery "in a couple months" so it'll be about 1 month since that appointment when I have my appointment on the 6th. They have me starting to try protein drinks and bars now though..so I'm hoping for the best next week.

Yeah, I am cool with trying to make it a regular thing! maybe once or twice a month?

Jessica... That sounds sooo good. I was talking about a non-physician related support group a while earlier on the forum...this is just like one...lol. Who better to talk about WLS than those who have had it. Once or twice a month sounds great to me...I know that some other folks want to attend but can't until the afternoon. If it's twice a month..maybe one can be in the morning and the other in the afternoon that way it can be more conveinent for those who can't do mornings or others who can't do afternoons. Dana

I posted the Starbucks picture in my profile. I thought i posted here too saying I had done that and for some reason it didnt show up. Feel free to right click and save it. Steffi
