That would be great.  It would give me someone to talk to during the ride there.

Hi...I am having a DS done by Dr Brent Stewart @ Tallgrass on 1/29/09. My surgery is a revision from a VBG done 20 years ago. I am sure can request your surgeon.

That would be awesome, Amanda! Would a once-a-month on a Saturday, early afternoon, support group meeting work well for you? Any ideas on a name for the group? I'm so excited! :)

I live close to KIM so maybe we could drive there together??  Please keep me posted!
(i am in Wichita)

Hi, Kim.
If it wasn't 2:30 in the morning and everyone in the house asleep, I'd be yelling, "Yippee!" :)  There are a handful of people from Winfield and Arkansas City who are ready for a support group. Dr. Keller (from Edmond) really wants me to do this, too, and said he would help, so I'm going to contact him this coming week, to see what it takes. I assume some kind of certification process is involved, like what is done through Obesity Help. I'll keep you posted.
I was thinking that, in consideration of those who have to make some sort of drive to Winfield, a Saturday early afternoon support group would be better than an evening one. What do you think? I know that it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to find a day and time that will work for everyone.
Our group will need a name, too. Any suggestions? I'd like it to be an overall weight-loss support group, meaning that non-WLS people (but who need support to continue their weight-loss journey) can feel free to attend.
Thanks so much for replying!
Blessings,
Mary
