Anyone near the Akron area?

I am in Suffield, not far at all from Akron. I had RNY with Dr. Z on 10/31 - love love LOVE that man! I haven't been to a support group at Summa yet, but hope to start after the New Year. I'd be interested in something - what did you have in mind?

I know Suffield! My ex is from there. I was raised in Springfield Twp most my life. Dr Z rocks!!!!! How are you doing?

I was just hoping to have another get together for Summa patients as well as anyone from NE Ohio so there can be at least two support meetings each month. Nothing formal just a get together at peoples homes....with everyone rotating each month. That sound ok? I would like to get it started in January 2013!

Brimfield here and I am a Summa Dr. Z. post-op heading into my fifth year. I strongly encourage you to attend the Summa support groups. I love Dr. Perkins staying on track group. Laura's larger group is just a great folks that are very supportive. I will also put a plug into the other non-Summa groups. Moving Forward is a Meetup.com group that is a social group for post-ops. I coordinate a cycling group (Spin-off Cyclists) and participate in the Akron Area Hiking and My First 5K groups coordinated by Chuck, another Summa post-op. We are fortunate to have a good amount of support in the Akron area for WLS.

I am in canton had dr Dan surgery was Nov 1.

Awesome. 4 days before me. How are you doing?

I am near Cleveland, I am having my RNY surgery on Dec 19 th  at Cleveland Clinic..  :)

Akron/Canton area. Pre-op and going to Mexico in March.

Awesome. Good luck! Who is your surgeon?

Besides the monthly support meeting there is one with Dr. Perkins which is more about the emotional struggles after WLS.  It is a nice group.  Then there is the meet up group that was started by Tom above so there certainly no lack of support for the Summa patients.

I'm in Massillon.. Looking to have a revisal done soon as long as insurance goes through! My husband is have WLS surgery as well.
