Lunch was great idea

The Hattiesburg bunch's lunch date at Chesterfield's went great. We laughed and visited and shared information. Elesha's little girl was able to join us, and she was precious. She probably thought we were all a little nuts, but she didn't let on if she did LOL. We definitely need to make it a once per month deal in between support group meetings. It helps motivation, I think to see and visit with each other in between. I know that the meetings and this board really help me remember what I need to be doing and keep my focus on the life long changes. Sometimes without reminders life can make you forget when you get farther out from surgery. A WLS patient is what we are and will always be. We need to stay focused in order to succeed and maintain that success. I really wish all of you here could have been there, and those of you in Hattiesburg that didn't make it, we missed you and hope you will be able to join us next time.

It was wonderful. We definatly need to do it often... I had an amazing time... -460 pounds sitting at that table too!! Woohoo

Wait... It was 560 wasnt it!

I had a great time too! Savannah is accustomed to hearing all about pouches, protein and boob jobs (though she has no idea what that last one means). You ladies provide me with support that no one else can. Personal experience with WLS and its after-efects is worth all our lost weight in gold... all 560lbs of it! Elesha LapRNY 2/26/02 288/165ish

I had a good time also even though I was the only pre-op there, I feel the more I know there can't be too many surprises when I do get my surgery. Had a blast let's do it again I'm gain.
