Topic: Thanks for coming!
Thanks all for coming to the Eugene/Springfield Support group meeting last night. Because we chose a different day of the week, we had a few new people. It was really fun. At the meeting, I handed out some papers on the Victim - Survivor - Thrivor Model (by Lynn Meineke). Please keep those handouts with your and give them some thought. We'll be talking about that a bit in the new year.
Our next meeting probably won't be till January. With the holidays, I'm sure you all will be very busy and making it to a meeting will be difficult. I'll be out with my three-level spinal fusion, which takes place next Wednesday, so you all have great holidays and I'll see you next year!!

Topic: RE: VSG
Mine was done as the first stage of my DS. OHSU does not offer VSG as a stand-alone operation. I don't know of any bariatric clinic in Oregon that offers VSG as a stand-alone operation either.
A friend of mine had a VSG as a revision from a MGB at OHSU. Most of the others in this state had their VSGs out of state or in Mexico.

Topic: RE: Reminder - Eugene/Springfield Support Group Thurs 11/13
I hope we see you tomorrow Becca! As for hanging in there day by day, I understand that completely. I'm off for a 3-level spinal fusion next week, so life has been interesting for me lately. Basically eat, sleep, lie on the couch. Oh - and go to work so I can sit all day and be in pain. 
Oh well, I'll be looking forward to relaxing. Please come if you can. The meetings are pretty fun.

Topic: RE: Ideas Needed
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my request. I sent this out to friends and family in an email so I am getting lots of responses and ideas to think about. It's hard to figure out a way to express the depth of my appreciation to this person so all ideas will be carefully considered. Thank you again!
Topic: RE: Finally !!!!!!
I hope the job loss wasn't because of the surgery. :)
I have not been eating any differently, only less due to the last fill finally taking hold. That is the only thing I can attribute the jumpstart in weight loss. But whatever the reason, I am pleased.
I have an appointment the Tues before Turkey Day, and am at a loss if i want a small tweak or not. I will have to discuss my situation with the Dr. I haven't felt this type of restriction before. Some days I can eat fine....other days I don't even know why I bother. It is definitey a weird sensation. I just wish my head would get involved with the tummy. Know what I mean?
Had one slight incident of a "really productive burp", but other than that nothing out of the ordinary. Whatever is going on, I am pleased
Good luck getting in more protein Can definitely relate to that one! It is just so hard, but easier than it would have been a year ago.

Topic: RE: Anyone near Silverton??
There is a wonderful group that meets in Salem at the Salem Hospital the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of every month. Would that be close enough for you?
