bay city support group

Hello
I'm having surgery on Friday and I think I want to join with your group for support.  I live in Bay City....having surgery in Flint.  I won't be able to make the June 8th meeting but if you could keep me in the loop for the following month...I would appreciate it!

Hi Sara! 

Congrats on your sugery tomorrow!  Let us know how it goes... we'll be cheering for you! 

You'll be amazed at how good you're going to feel by June 8th, so you might be up to joining us.  It's not like we do jumping jacks or anything - so you could sit at home and be bored or you could come and sit around with us for a couple hours and see how wonderful we are.  :-)

Shoot me your email addy and I'll get you on my distribution list for meeting details.

Is the group open to anyone? I've been considering coming to a meeting after my VSG surgery, although I don't know that I'll fit in. lol I'm a guy, for one thing, and I'm only 22. But I'm sure it'd be nice to have a support group after something like this.

Of course you're welcome.  We'd love to have you. 

And..... We'll try to forgive you for being a guy.  LOL!  Actually there is another newbie of the male persuasion who is going to be joining us this month, so you guys can bond.  And you don't have to wait until after your surgery... it's best to get involved right from the start.  I attended the group for a whole year before my surgery.  

PM me your email address and I'll get you added to my email list.  I'll be sending out a notice early next week with info on a location and the homework (yes, I'm a slave driver!).   We'll be talking about Vitamins in this month's meeting.

And BTW -- we've got 2 other members who had the VSG, so there will be folks who can help you through the specifics.

Is there a Tri-Cities group that meets?  I am having a VSG revision done June 2nd (tomorrow!) and I would be interested in meeting other WLS patients in the area.
