friend search

I need to find someone I can relate to. It is really hard being in a new area and meeting folks that have been where you have been. I like to keep myself surrounded with those folks because they remind me of why I made the choice to have Gastric Bypass. So if you are feeling the same way and looking to make new friends let me know!!

hi there, Sorry to hear yu haven such a rough time.  I am in monroe which is like 25mins south of the Dayton Mall exit.  I had my surgery up there at Sycamore Hospital.  There is a support group there in my doctors building infront of the hospital on the second Weds. of the month at 7p.  I have lived here pretty much my whole life and I only have a couple of friends same with my husband ,  so feel free to message me and maybe we all can get to gether and meet some time.  May be kinda crazy the next few weeks my daughters swim tea is fixen to start but I know the feeling of being alone so I am here.   Linda

It is hard to get to support groups my schedule is so tight. I go to nursing school in the evening and work over night and weekends. I moved here from California I take care of my mother during the day she had heart failure and is 24 hour care. sooooooooo! lol life is crazy! Thanks for being there!

Here are a few web sites that might be of help  http://www.kettering-sycamorewls.org/program_support.cfm http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RNY_DaytonSupport/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RNY_achievegoalsgroup/ This is a new group in Cincinnati that is doing a lot of social activities you might want to join that site and see if you are able to do anything with them. http://wls.meetup.com/93/ I know there are a lot of us around here. Good luck,  Robin

It sounds like your days are very full. I am happy to e-mail any time. I pray things get better soon. Laura

I had a different procedure, but I am in Lebanon (about 20 minutes south of Dayton). I am going through the same thing also. My surgeon is actually out of Dayton. I am happy to talk any time.
