What a group!

Let me first say that I can't believe there are people already posting this morning.  What a bunch of early birds! I'm off to my nutrition meeting for the entire day so I won't be able to respond or post for a while but I just had to put in a quick word about the people on this site.  You are AMAZING! Floyd, Brenda, Julie and Annette:  Dinner last night was fabulous.  I have a lot of support from my family but I've never felt more special than I did last night.  The way you guys opened up and shared your experiences with me meant the world to me and I feel so much better this morning about the whole process.  There's no support group that could've provided as much love and understanding as I received last night.  Thank you so much. Everyone else:  This board ROCKS!  I can't believe we have this resource at our fingertips.  If anyone out there is hesitant about meeting up with the people from here at one of the dinners and such, please don't be.  I wish I lived closer so I could come to more.  It is absolutely the best support group I've ever experienced.  Meeting people face to face makes it even more real.  I hope I get the chance to meet more of you! I'm off to learn about nutrition and whatnot.  Hope everyone has a FABULOUS day. Feeling groovy to belong to Christ, Jacqui

Jacqui, Last night was such fun.  It was a pleasure and a privilege to meet you.  You're a doll!

Dear Jacqui, My best friend from high school is having her surgery the same day as you.  She has Dr. Inman.  I plan on coming up to St. V's to visit her on Saturday, so I'll try to also stop in to say Hi to you.  I had my surgery on February 20, 2007 (Fat Tuesday).  I have done pretty well, I'm down 114 pound from my highest weight, and 103 pounds since surgery.  I'll be keeping you and my friend, Sandi, in my prayers. All the best, Donna

Jacqui, It was such a pleasure to meet you and spend time getting to know you.  You are a real hoot girl!   I'll come up and see you on Friday evening the 26th to see how you made out.  But I know you are going to do fantastic.  Annette, I enjoyed my visit with you very much, it was nice to finally get some face time.  You too are a real kick!  I had such great fun.  Good people, good food, good conversation, who could ask for more.

Sorry I missed your dinner.  It has been hectic around here.  I hope to meet you the next time you are in town.
