Wichita

Hi, I am Tara...Just got my approval yesterday.... Should be having surgery 10/2008... please message anytime.

Hi, there and welcome.  I didn't know you haven't had surgery yet when I replied to your post regarding the support group.  I don't mind being the leader just need a meeting place, my house is filled with dogs that would bark at everyone and we would never get anything done. LOL....  We had a support group in KC that was started my an OH memeber we met at a church one Mon. a month but some thought that once a month wasn't enough so maybe we could do it a few times a month.  Support groups are very important in this journey it helps us keep on track and motivated.

I remember getting my surgery date it made everything feel so real.  Congrats!  This is an amazing journey, get ready for a big life change. 

Where at in Wichita do you live?  I live on the west side.  I just moved here from KC in May so I don't have any friends here yet.  Would you like a workout buddy?  I met a lady here on the OH boards that lived near me in KC and we would go to the YMCA every week and do water aerobics so I really miss that and I need to get back into exercising. 

I am off on Sundays and mondays.  Although I get of work Tues - Saturday by 2:45...I work at tmobile.  I live on the east side.  Due to my work schedule and recent marriage I too dont have many people I hang out w/.  I was thinking of joining curves again but now that you bring it up I do get a discount at the YMCA.  I will post more tomorrow.  Nice Meeting you by the way, my name is Tara. 

HI you guys!!!
I just got my surgery date....i had to make it for after the new year when my husband had vacation time so someone could take care of me. I moved here from CA 5 years ago and have a few friends. I live on the East side of town. I use to work out at CURVES and went for a year and lost 30lbs. I had to give up my membership but now am thinking of going to the YMCA. I work at Kwik Shop and have a funky schedule. (I am thinkg of going to T-Mobile...maybe we should talk!)
I WANT TO HAVE LOCAL SUPPOURT MEETINGS IN WICHITA (that are free...lol) I am having surgery in Junction City...they have stuff once a month but i hate the drive. (and i cant afford a whole tank of gas for an hour meeting)  Anywho...I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to get with you guys and maybe just hang out!  I am sooooo glad I have found you 2!!!  I am sooo excited!!
I hope to see you b4 your surgery!!

(My name is AMANDA by the way!)

I live in Andover and would love to meet with others.  I am currently recuperating from a leak and hope to be eating again in a week or so (long story).  Please let me know if you get together.

Hey ya'll... I would be so excited to go ahead and start a support group meeting... I am ALWAYS off on Sundays and Mondays.  I am currently off all the time due to just had surgery on 11/03/// I think a good place to meet would be at the new Barnes and Noble on N. Rock Road in Bradly Fair... Let me know.

Leak huh... that is aweful.  this recovery from my RNY is killing me... I fee like I have pulled a muscle under my left rib  OUCH.

Congrats on the surgery....how are you doing??
