Topic: RE: Caresource Doctors??
I started the OSU program in November (I did nt have to do the BLAST program due to my insurance) but I have surgery next week! I was shocked at how soon I could get it! Could have gotten it sooner if my iron and Vit D were ok at the blood draw in November. Good Luck...I would call them again!

My name is Lauren and my husband and I moved to Lorain, OH 5 mos. ago from NJ. That is why I posted in here, yet it says NJ on my profile. Lol.
It's nice to be in this forum now, too, and I hope that we can get tips from one another!
Nice to meet all of you,
Lauren

Hi everyone! I am just short of 3 years out of RNY surgery and doing so well. I am enjoying life! This was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am able to do yoga. I am able to walk into any store and shop. I am able to blush when guys check me out. It's an amazing feeling, and anyone on the fence.....DO IT FOR YOURSELF. I don't think you'll regret it. I did EVERYTHING my doctor and nutritionist told me. And I am down 110+ lbs. Maintainence is HARD, but I just remember where I came from... and the GOOD LORD knows I don't want to be back there!! ~ LAUREN ~

Michelle and Ohio Folks,
I belong to a long-term bariatric support group that meets monthly for a meet and greet. We call it Dinner and an Open Mic. It's usually at a casual restaurant and can be breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's really just a time to hear others stories and struggles and have a good time. The group welcomes bariatric patients anywhere on their journey to join us. You can check it out at http://www.meetup.com/MovinForward/.
Our next dinner and an open mic is in Kent this coming Monday. We generally move around the Akron area for these events. This group also does other activities including hikes and yoga classes.

This is turning out to be a fun group. Nwewbies, many bariatric folks, having a good time. Chuck works individually with each of us. You have no need to worry about participating in this group. I think there is a place for everyone and everyone is made welcome.

My post 'Ohio meet and greet' from a while back was met by many who are wanting to do the same thing. (I was super excited by the responses!)
I apologize for dropping that ball...My husband and I are foster parents who have taken in an emergency sibling group *****quire constant attention and supervision.
Since they've come to live with us I have found I don't have enough hours in the day to do daily tasks let alone trying to organize a meet and greet. (although this is still a front runner in my thought process!) If anyone else would like to take that touch from me, please feel free to do so. Without having ample time to put into organizing an event I fully heartedly know someone else can do more justice given my situation at this time.
Thanks for your understanding.
You guys rock!
