Happy Monday OHLA! The New U support group will meet Thursday at Our Lady of the Lake at 6:30 p.m. I know I was a great big tease last month, but a few weeks after my band removal I had a terrible case of the flu. I seem to be pain and flu-free this week and I would love to see you all there. Our meeting with feature a patient-led group discussion and details on the soon-to-be launched New U support group Web site. There will also be plenty of time to mingle, meet new friends and enjoy light researchments. If you need directions to the Lake, please PM me and I'll pass on some numbers that might help. Thanks for all the well-wishes and prayers before and after my surgery. I'm very pleased with my band results and lifestyle, but problems with my esophagus made the band uncompatible for me. I'm currently pondering a possible revision some where down the road and because of my knowledge of the benefits of all (and a dang fine case of diabetes), I'm consider "all" options. Your prayers and support are, as always, golden. Onward! Frances

The Lake Auditorium is in the same hallway as the main cafeteria. It's on the opposite side of the hallway. I look forward to seeing you there. Frances

I have a friend who needs a sitter that night and I'm thinking about hiring a sitter and dropping off the kids at Monkey Biz. Our kids are 3, 4 and 5(ish) and are used to playing there together. Not sure if yours are too young to be with new sitter, but let me know if you are interested.
