Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

There is a support group that meets at Lima Memorial Hospital on the third
Thursday of each month, at 6:00pm. I am waiting on a surgery date, hopefully,
late May to June. I am going to Bowling Green for my surgery, and I live in Wapakoneta.
I attended last months meeting. Keep in touch and add me to your friends list. We
all need someone to go through this together with.

Look through some of the older Ohio posts, seems to me there were some folks in Greenville who had wanted to get something together.

I live in Celina, Ohio :) My RNY Surgery is April 4th ... as it is I am driving to Toledo, Ohio for the surgery
LoL ... which is a 2 hr drive for me ... but it ooookkkkk... it will allll be worth it
I was just wondering if there is any support groups more local than Dayton, Cincinati, etc?? Maybe Lima? I could do that (thats about 35 mins from me) or Greenville even? (thats maybe an 1 hr) ... just let me know!! Everyone online has been great! but it would be nice to get together once a month? or every few months to "get together" and chit chat



Topic: RE: Navigating the WLS program office
I am with you Philip,
It was a "sales job" for sure. One that I was not going to buy. Surgeons ina large community hospital such as Riverside make more than enough cash.
It would be nice to all those professionals in the same locations! I am running all over town. What would be nice is a one day stop for all those services!
Thanks for your comments!
