Hi All,

It looks like another nice turnout for this coming Saturday. I won't be there as I'm in California, but my best friend aka DH, Ben, will be taking care of business for me.

Here is the info. If you plan to come and haven't done so already, please RSVP at http://wls.meetup.com/101 so that we can be sure that they set up enough for everyone.

Aug 16 Sat 10:00 AM
Location
Golden Corral

2909 Millbrook Rd
Raleigh, NC 27613
(919)872-0500

How to find us
"We'll be in the private room in the back"

This is a social networking group for people who have had or are considering any type of Weight Loss Surgery through any practice. We enjoy chatting, exchanging tips, recipes, information and support. This is open to anyone who would like to join us. Please be sure to RSVP so that we can get a head count.

Of course, because we are using their facility, the folks at the Golden Corral would like each of us to purchase our meal there while we use their facility. Their normal price is $7.39; if you are a senior or have a card indicating that you are a WLS patient your meal will be $6.79.

We look forward to seeing you!

Mind if I cross post onto the main board?  I know there are some Raleigh people that don't come to this board.

Done!

BTW ... I noticed that your numbers continue to move south. Congratulations on winning the 'battle of the bulge.'

I appreciate that :-)  I went on vacay, as you know, and still continued to lose.  I would have been happy to just maintain (especially with all the crap I was eating), but still managed to tweak off a few pounds.

Maybe I can give them to you ;-)

Send 'em on over ... I've actually taken to eating more than a few goodies and it still isn't helping. I know that Judy (and apparently plenty of others) thought I was attention seeking, but I honestly am frustrated with the continued loss and thought that casting the widest net would help get some answers considering not too many people have this issue. When I posted the first note early last week I was surprised at the initial drop, but then to be working on adding more food/calories and have another 2 lb dropped ... I sort of freaked, so I posted again. I mean geez 4 lbs in two weeks! That's about how I was losing when I was working on it last summer. Hopefully, my loss will stop and yours will continue. Thanks again... Your kindness and support are always very much appreciated.

Band to DS

Unfortunately, I had to delete this message due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Hi Shelli,

I'm sure everyone will be glad to meet you as well. Hopefully, I'll get to see you at a future event.

Shelli - I'll be having coffee or tea with you as morning eating and me don't get along very well. I have not had any restaurant episodes and don't feel like trying one on Sat. LOL!
Look forward to meeting you!
