Hi all!

I'm sending along a special invitation to ya'll for the Hurley Support Group Meeting in Flint on Monday, June 7th at 5:30.  The guest speaker will be.... yours truly.  I'll be giving a presentation on "Measuring Your Success Without the Scale."

Hurley's support meetings are open to ANYone who had WLS or is thinking about having WLS. They do not restrict meetings to only Hurley patients.  So everyone is welcome to attend anytime!

Hope to see you there!

Yes, it's at 2700 Robert T. Longway ... in a not-too-great part of town.  I'd love to see you at the meeting!

Good!  I used to be a Candy Striper at Hurley a LONG time ago.... do they even have those anymore? LOL

I'm setting the schedule for today - so since I'm the boss, I think we get to leave at 4:30 today - how's that sound? 

I'll be there - now to find where its AT in Hurley!  Is there a room number?  Or do I ask at the front desk?

I have yet to be at a support meeting.  I would like to go! I am a little nervous for some reason.  Can spouses come or is it usually crowded?  Teddi

Hi Teddi

You should definitely come!  We're a friendly bunch and hardly ever bite the newbies.  Yes your spouse is welcome to attend (and may couples come together).  Summer months the meetings tend to be a bit less crowded -- but I've been inviting a lot of people to this one, so who knows what Monday will be like.  We usually have about 30-40 people, I'd guess.  It's just a big room with chairs all facing the front. 

After the meeting is actually the best part (in my opinion) because you get the chance to stand around and chit chat with other patients.  We have lots of old-timers attend so you can tap into our knowledge and experience.  There are also folks who are just going through the insurance approval process and haven't had surgery yet.  So lots of variety.

Hope to see you there.

Pam,

I'm about 90 miles from Flint and 5:30 would be tight for me after work.  I was wondering, when is the next Bay City Support Group meeting?  ...Time? ...Place?

 I'm always late to the meetings ... I get out of work at 5:00 in Pontiac and get to Flint as soon as I can, so I always miss the first half hour or so.  Of course, I'll be on time this Monday.  LOL  

The next Bay City Support meeting is in July (second Wednesday of the month). We meet at 6:30 and we've got a new location for all meetings in Bay City (on Madison Avenue).  If you PM me your email address I can get you added to my mailing list for details about upcoming meetings (and homework and the 5k races we're doing together as a race).  

For June we're not having a formal meeting, instead we're doing a pool party at Ruthann's house. You're welcome to come too - that's on June 26th (we're doing a 5k race in the morning then meeting at Ruthann's afterward).
