The WeightWise Group in Edmond welcomes any and all to attend. I don't get up there as frequently as I would like, but it meets the first 3 Thursdays of the month at 6:00 (or 6:30) at Summit Medical Center, 1800 S Renaissance Blvd, Edmond, OK (405) 359-2473. The 3rd Wednesday of the month is the Life Wise Group (Long-term WLS patients). You can check out the meetings on the web site www.weightwise.com and in the upper right hand corner is an icon for "group calendar" Hope this helps (but if a group gets started in Tulsa, I would love to know about it!)

I'm so excited for you, please let us know how it goes? I am speaking with a surgeon about having it done in maybe march or april. I am training for a 1/2 marathon so I want to wait until that is over before I do it. I'm sure you will do great. God Bless and take care. Check me out on facebook if you want. Just google Christy Castro. I would love to chat with ya sometimes.

 

Hello there,

I'm new to Tulsa from California and I'm looking for a support group.
I had RNY July 16, 2009 and have been on the Cali board here for a long time.

Can anyone recommend any groups, get togethers, meet and greets, etc?

Thanks so much!

Jackie

Thanks for the reply and words of encouragment!  Sometimes, I know that I beat myself up.  It does help to get it all out there. 

It has been a much better day today.  I have not had time to exercise the last several days, and I think that is bothering me too!  Someone, once told me to fall in love with my treadmill...and I have!  Today, I was able to stay on the plan and drank all my water!  I know the drill so well!

I am very pleased with my progress and surgery.  I have done well, but, I still don't trust myself.  That is kind of sad, I know.  I never had a goal weight for so long, I kept myself from making one.  Now, that I have it is driving me crazy to get there! 

I had my surgery, the sleeve, in June of 2009.  So that makes me about 17 months out.  It has been an amazing journey.  Dr. B did my surgery, and yes he is the greatest.  I feel like it is amazing, God took me exactly where and who I needed to go to.  He is a good balance for me, direct and kind! I used to let people discourage me.  He has been nothing but encouraging!!  In fact, the whole office staff is amazing!  I love that Barbara, that helps with the vitamins and food.  She makes me laugh and is so sweet.  I feel blessed to have gotten to know them all!

I can't seem to get a new picture to go on my profile.  It says always gives me error message that it is too large.  Any suggestions?

So, what is your story?

You went first on the sleeve and paved the way for me so just returning the favor! ha ha!!  You are going to do great. You are so educated about the process and everything involved.  Before you know it this will be in your rear view mirror.  If I could tell you one thing (besides taking colace with loratabs) it would be to start doing some squats now to strengthen the legs because that one exercise really did help me to get up and down out of chairs without having to use any kind of lift chair or anything.
