Meeting is open to anyone on any stage of weight loss surgery - researching, pre-surgery waiting and post-surgery living/recovering.  We also welcome any of your support people (family or friends) who will be helping you on your journey.  *This is a separate group from Dr B's post surgery group that meets with the nurse.*

Remember to bring your "before/after" photos if you are post surgery and a current picture if you are not.

The meeting will be fairly informal so if you need to come a bit late or leave early that is ok.  We will start off with introductions - just a quick who you are and why you are there.  Since it is the start of a new year let's discuss our goals for a healthy lifestyle - food, fitness and fun!  Please bring a pen.

Any questions feel free to contact me!

It is looking like Saturday will be a sunny day for travel. I am still planning to go down.

can't wait to meet you guys!!!  we will be 2

EEEEIKS!!  I just realized that I have a class on Saturday night.  I decided to get a Wilton certification (cake decorating) so I could teach for them when I retire. .  Anyway,,,,I choose the Saturday evening course because I never have anything to do on Saturdays. Geees,  wouldn't you know. It doesn't start until 6:30, so I might go for the first hour.

How long of a drive is it from Freddy to Moncton?

I can go from my driveway to the GD hospital (I was not swearing LOL) in an hour and thirty five minutes when the roads are good. I drive 115 to 120 kph.

Unless something happens like weather or car issues, I will be there.  I don't have too many before photos and  I am not that far away from surgery.  I have one before shot on my ID page on here that pretty much is near my highest weight.   I will try to get it printed for Saturday.  As far as after, well I guess I am the after shot.  Can we bring a camera to take photos of our group? 

Really looking forward to meeting everyone.

You should consider taking a couple of full body shots. You may not love them now, but they will make you appreciate the after shots all the more.

Oh my goodness I have lost my memory along with the pounds, hubby took a photo the morning of surgery.  I will get that one printed for Saturday and maybe I will get him to take a photo in the same clothes for comparison thus far.  Thanks for rattling my brain with your comment Charline.  It was a duhhhh moment there.  See you Saturday.
