Hey all, I want to start a Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) Support Group for DeSoto County, MS.
There are 3 of us who are preparing to meet soon. If there are kids involved we will have to meet at a fast food place which has a kids play area or any suggested area.
Thinking Saturdays or Sundays would be a good day as most people are off those days.  Mid mornings might be good as kids are tired and cranky yet.
Just ideas and waiting to hear from anyone out there.
901-438-8244    My name is Nancy and call between 8 am-8 pm. I go to bead early. Leave message if I don't answer.
thanks
Nancy

Hi  Nancy. I live in Byhalia and I am waiting for a surgery date. Had all my post  op tests done last week so I hope not too long now!   I would love to find a close support group so I will try to give you a call soon!

Well I look forward to meeting you. I have met 2 people so far and we agreed that this is indeed a good idea to have a local support group.
Who is your doctor?
I see the NUT next Thursday. Can't wait. I originally went to Dr Woodman and got as far as seeing the video and was scheduled for pro-op tests but he wasn't in network and I couldn't afford to pay up front. Now I am with Dr Weaver and so I see her NUT next week as I said above.
I think we are going to have a meeting probably the last Sunday of August at another persons house.  I told her just to serve tea and I am looking to make samples of protein shakes, the best friend of post-ops.
Again as soon as I get an exact date I will let you know.
In the meantime I am asking everyone to e-mail me at [email protected]
Yes that is my name, Nancy M Weasel. I thank my husband for the greatest name on the planet...oh my.
You can call or e-mail me as I don't come here that often. I go to bariatriceatig.com and use their forums. I encourage everyone to do so. This is the best bariatric website and recommended by more bariatric surgeons/nutritionists. It is staffed by its owner a 7 year post-op, a NUT/nurse, a chef, and doctors.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi cinja, Always good to see men join groups. We would be so glad to have you. There is a wrinkle to our first meeting. I am starting this group and invited Amy Bennett to help me to get this off the ground. We are both pre-ops but are close. I am waiting on a first meeting with the surgeon and Amy is about a week behind me.
The wrinkle is my husband and I are moving to Las Vegas. So I am hoping for post-ops to show up to help continue the purpose of this group...to provide information to pre-ops and reconnect post-ops, who have fallen off the wagon, to the correct diet for successful bariatric post-op life.
So after getting to the point of waiting to see the surgeon, I have to move in September.
I will have lap RNY as well as Amy. I have an associate who is post-op whom I feel confident will make a good support group leader.
August 24, 2 pm at The Grove CoffeeHouse on Getwell at Snowden Grove Park.
Look forward to meeting you.
Thank you
Nancy Weasel

Sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to come next time or to be sure you go to your nearest support group.
