Downriver Support Group!

Greetings everyone! I'm so happy to be back online at home , I feel like I've been so out of touch . We're scheduling our group meeting for August 17th at 7:00pm. There's so much to catch up on , and we have several people who are interested in joining us...so, see you at the Big Boy inside Southland Mall on Thursday the 17th!!!!

Lizzie- I'm sorry I havent come in a while. I have been so busy with my new job!! No go on the TT- Mcare denied me Have they approved you? Talk soon S-

Hi my favorite Shannon! I'm really disappointed about the denial of your TT...how bariatric surgery friendly are the other docs at our favorite internal medicine group? Do we have the support we had with our wonderful B? I won't know about my TT until after Aug. 23rd sometime, but I do have that hernia repair that has to be done, so I'm praying M-Care will allow both procedures to be done at the same time. I can't wait to see you, Tina, Katie, et al...we'll get something worked out so it won't be such a long haul for you. You're too important to us all. Be well Lizzie B

Hi my name is Tammy, I have never been to a support group meeting before? do I need to sign up ahead of time? I am 2 years post op. but I am afraid of the pounds creeping back up! just thought it might help to get back on track!

Hi Tammy! No, you don't need to sign up ahead of time, although if you plan on coming it's nice for me to know so I have an idea of how many of us there are for seating at the restaurant. We'd love for you to come...I'm the furthest out post-op at only 1 year, so your input would be priceless. It is so refreshing and inspiring to be with those who are just beginning their journey...the excitement, the questions, the obstacles...it keeps me focused on exactly where I've been and where I want to be. I think you might find the same for yourself. It will be good for us to learn what struggles and victories we might experience in the future from you, too. Please consider joining us on the 17th!
