New to MN Board - get togethers?

Hi there,  I am new to the board and have been reading our MN posts and noticed that some members get together once in awhile, I was wondering if I could possibly join?  I just started the process of all the appointments and hope to get some first hand notes from my more experienced WLS buddies.   Thanks! 

Hi and welcome....... A bunch of us will be at the Caribou coffee inside Byerlys in Maple Grove on Saturday at 9:00 am.  Please come join us. We meet every other Saturday. Kelly

Thanks so much!  Do the meeting spots rotate areas? 

Yep! There's Eagan,. Burnsville, Stillwater, St. Cloud, etc... :-) The Maple Grove one goes every other Sunday. There is also a support group for anyone (not just Park Nicollet) tonight (wednesday) at Park Nicollet in St. Louis Park.    Take 100 to Highway 3 (Hopkins area) -- exit east. Take the next left after Park Nicollet Blvd. There is a brown bank building (used to be a bank) right in front of the park nicollet clinic. The support group  meets in there. The address  is 1555 I think. It meets other wednesdays too.

I hope Elena won't mind my correction - Maple Grove meets every other SATURDAY.  At least. 

Oops I think I had a brain fart.... I meant SATURDAY!!:-) Thanks Darla!

The rule of these coffee gatherings is that everybody is welcome!  Remembering where they are each week is a challenge, though.  Ok, maybe it's only a challenge for me, especially now that I'm working weekends, too.  Welcome to the boards!  Being on here and going to coffee's and clinic support meetings are great ways to get support and info.  Best of luck on your journey!

Hello and WELCOME!! Eagan and Burnsville rotate weekends. One week Burnsville the next Eagan. I think it is Eagan this Saturday. Hopefully someone will post a reply as too which one it is for sure. Please attend support groups as you are able. They are so worth the time as are these wonderful coffee groups!! Hugs, connie d

I think B-Ville coffee was last Sat on the 7th so it should be Eagan coffee this Sat the 14th.  I again will be making an airport run so I don't know if I'll make it.  Don't know what time I have to shlep the passenger yet. 

Hello and Welcome!!!  You should definitely try and make it to a coffee. They are wonderful! I haven't been making them much lately, but I hope to be back soon.  I had your same surgeon. He is fantastic!
