Support group in Fredericton.- interested?

Is anyone in the greater Fredericton area interested in getting together to share experiences, have a laugh, or just meet the folks you have met online? We could get together at a home, meet at Tim's, or (gasp!)  meet for lunch somewhere. Let me know.....

Hi.. i would love the idea.. i know there is one support group already in place although i had the surgery in November 2007 and only met with them once.  The person in charge was unable to do it on a regular basis for personal reasons.  But i do miss the support.  

Count me in!  I will be in Fredericton Area for month of October.   What date?

I vote for a Restaurant...it takes longer for a meal so we get more time to chat!

Well, we may have to start small, just a few of us, but word will spread. Instead of  negotiating a new date each month, why don't we (as the founding members hee hee)  decide on a rotating day every month.  Like the first Thursday of the month. Any suggestion on which restaurant? I am still waiting  for surgery so I will leave the choice of restaurant to those with a "restricted" diet.
The only night that I have a regular engagement is Mondays. We can set it up here and exchange identifying info, like e-mail addresses when we meet.

I know there is one that Dr B's office told me about that meeting at the DECH once a month.  Although I never went to it, and not sure if it still goes or not.

but let me know I am interested if you guys all get together.

Is there an evening that you are usually free every month?
I am not planning to make this a "social worky" type thing, just a a couple of hours for people with something in common to get together. The group can evolve into whatever people want.
Do you have a suggestion for a restaurant?

I would like to join you all if there is room;)
Just let me know the time and place. Here is my work email... [email protected]   it's the easiest way to reach me. ( I can't seem to get near the computer at home, the kids are always on it )

 I haven't had the surgery (have just made the decision), and would love to meet with others to ask questions, etc.   I'm interested in whatever times you all come up with - I live in the area, so it won't be a huge deal for me to make it!!

Charline, I'm only an hour away in Saint John area and I would love to come. Let me know when you folks decide to get together and hopefully I can come up and join you as well!

Sure thing. I am going to propose a date & place in about a week and I am going to send to everyone who expressed an interest.  I am envisioning  the first get-together as an informal meet and greet. The only thing on the agenda is the next meeting. Perhaps at the second meeting we can talk about what kind of group we want- do we want it all social, all information, support group meeting in a more private place, a little of everything? Personally, I would like to focus on a little of each, with the emphasis on the social. The "Red Hat Society"  of weight loss. However, I am just one voice and just because I started organizing this doesn't mean  I have any more say than any other member of the group. Even if we only meet once, I would so like to meet everyone.
Hope to meet you soon,
