Topic: RE: Having more frequent coffee get togethers...

I am home with an ugly flu and possibly H1N1 as my daughter-in-law was diagnosed yesterday and we have been together lots. My husband and I were just put on Tamiflu today. Have to stay close to home until I am better. Sorry but you know I am definitely interested.

Topic: RE: Approved

The decision is your's as far as I know but should be made in conjunction with your surgeon and after researching your options. Its good to speak with those who have 'been there done that' about the pros and cons and what to expect and do.

govtgirl is organizing a coffee get together on March 5th and there is a Meet and Greet on March 8th. Either one or both would be good to attend.

Jefferies is doable for me although its far to go. The Second Cup on Osborne might be better for peeps more centrally located. I say put it out there in   separate thread to see if anyone else wants to come to Jefferies or would prefer the Second Cup. I think it would have to be an evening coffee get together in any case.

But I'm in no matter which place.

Topic: Approved

I got the call from my gp's office today that I've been approved for surgery. I asked for the referral a month ago so I'm very excited! 

Now what? I know it can take up to two years before I get there. Do they evaluate you and decide which is best (vsg or rny) or do I get to choose? How does this all work? 

 

Im super excited!

How about Wednesday, 5 March 2014 at Jefferies on Henderson Highway?  Or would someplace more central be better?  We could always meet at Second Cup on Osborne I am good with meeting at Cousins again.

It was great to get together. Think we should set a date for our next one?

I wouldn't mind doing another one before the Meet & Greet on March 8th.  How about you picking a spot out in your end of town not too far from the downtown. I need to be able to reach it by bus so a coffee shop or something along Henderson Hwy or downtownish (or close to) would be nice.

Throw out some dates and let's see who can make it. I'm available every evening next week and the following except for Tuesday the 25th, Wednesday the 26th and Thursday March 6th. Sundays are bad for me due to bus service.

Thanks Lorna, I'll do my best to make both dates. I'm having surgery in April though, so I may not be mobile enough.
