http://www.meetup.com/The-Overland-Park-Weight-Loss-Surgery-Meetup-Group/

 

I basically just wanted to interact with others that had had WLS, I had the idea of meeting at the library, we could exchange information, ideas, recipes, tips, tricks, etc and take it from there.

 

But nobody has joined yet, may take some time.

 

Let me know what you think, tell your friends! And email me if you have ideas.

Dena,

I would be careful with the liquid Benadryl. I dumped on it. It was the first and only time I have ever dumped!

Topic: RE: Ok, I decided to start a "meetup"

yeah i went ahead and paid the $19, thought it might be worth it, but nobody joined and nobody signed up to come, so I'll try a couple more times I guess. 

 Wichita is about 3 hours from KC

 

GOod luck in January!

 

Mine went very well, took me FOREVER to start losing, I'm nearly 3 weeks out and finally able to see a difference, I don't have a scale, but when I have weighed it has moved some, but my clothes are getting looser by the day!

It was mentally hard as well, I still WANT food, still struggle with trying NOT to put things in my mouth, and I'm REALLLY SICK of soft foods, I dont know what I want, but something different!  And I dont care if I ever see any SOUP again! yet after surgery that is all I wanted I couldnt' WAIT to try tsome soup!

HI

I had a meet-up group about 5 years ago for scrapbooking.
They decided to start charging to be apart of it so i gave up the group.

I am in Wichita...how far away am I from you guys??

I am having my RNY in Jan.  


How did yours go?

Topic: RE: Lapband vs RNY

Well for me I did a lot of research & read everything I could, but it all came down to this, I have knees that have to be replaced & I decided on the Lap RNY because I can get the weight off faster, which means I can get my knees done sooner.

Hi. You may find the following link helpful: http://www.wichitalinks.com/attractions_more.html. Of course, it will focus on Wichita, mostly. You will be fairly close to the Oklahoma border (of Land Rush fame), so that might be something to pursue, also. Have a safe trip and a fun time.
Blessings,
Mary
