Looking for friends

Hi Kurt and welcome to North Carolina! We have a wonderful support group here in Gastonia NC that meets once a month and we now have several people that come from your are to the meetings. We have our own site http://www.gwlssupportgroup.com/ and also you can link from there to our new yahoo message board that was just set up today. We have a great group of people and would love for you to join us for our May 1st meeting! Take care! Nancy

Greetings and Good Morning! My name is Rex and I live in Hattiesburg. I'm new to OH and am interested in meeting "Bariatric Buddies" in my area. Can you help me? Currently, I'm 16 months post-op and have lost a total of 360 lbs. Thanks and God bless you ...

360 lbs!!!!! OMG that is way too wonderful!!!!! H'burg is full of our folks. Hang around on the board and you'll see, and watch for a luncheon to get to meet them in person! I am forwarding your post on to Jane cause she usually sets up the lunches. Smoochies Arlies

Hi Kurt, I am just up the road from you in lenoir. You are doing great in your weight loss. Keep up the good work. You can never have too many friends. (especially good ones) I am not single but I can be your friend. lol I hope you find what you are looking for on here. Joyce

Hi Kurt, It's great seeing a new face on the board. Congrads on your weight loss and a new life. Take Care, Toni M. [email protected]

Thanks for all the replies i will try to reply to wach of you personally

Hi Kurt, welcome to NC! Hickory is a lovely area. My dear friend's parents live there (he is an orthopedic surgeon there in town), and I have visited several times. I have to "second" (third, fifth..... ) the invitations to our Gastonia support group meetings. We've got a great group going, and everyone is incredibly friendly. Nancy Eaker is our fearless leader - she responded earlier. I know its not around the corner, but it isn't too far to come once a month! Please forgive the lateness of the reply. I miss most of the board action - such is the life of a first year teacher (who hasn't seen 21 in a long time!).... Twenty seven ten and eleven year olds will wear you down...... Anyway, welcome to NC, and to the world of being post-op! Melissa 6/9/04 - 175/180
