Topic: Saturday, May 4th, Barix Langhorne, Support Group - 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

Come support each other as we find ways to maintain our wonderful weight loss. As always, the main focus of this meeting are topics as they relate to post-ops, so please come by and share your WOW moments, as well as whatever else is on your mind.

The Place: 280 Middletown Boulevard, Langhorne, PA 19047
The time: 11 a.m. until approximately 1:30 p.m.

If you are celebrating a surgiversary, please bring any props (clothes worn prior to WLS, pictures), you will get 5 minutes to share what it was like, what it is like now and what you look forward to.

We have a nutritionist at every meeting and while all are welcome to attend our support groups, nutritional consults cannot be given to non-Barix patients, but no matter where you had surgery if you feel in need of support we welcome you!

On a last note, while we recognize that there are times when babysitting might be an issue, it would be appreciated if small children were not brought to the meeting, as there are times people have a need to discuss things where having a small child there inhibits their ability to discuss openly talk about what they need to. Thank you for your understanding.

Good Evening PA folks;

It is great to see that things are going great for you in Michigan....I'm on here very sporatically....Work has me so busy, crazy busy most days...I need to get myself into a better routine - each day is a new challenge. Each day I am thankful that I made the move I did. I'd have loved to have stayed in my old position doing the same thing day in and day out...Hey I got my education for a reason and it was not to sit in a job and department where I had no place to move or advance.

Beth - you do have a wonderful young lady that you are raising!

Donna again congratulations on the new job - how exciting.

Hope you all had a great day....

Good Afternoon Trish, Beth and PA peeps to come!

Trish I am glad that you are enjoying the time with your daughter and grand children. Cherish these early days because we all know that they go by way too quickly. My nephew (and godson) just turned 26 the other day. We are having a b-day dinner for him to day. I can't believe that he's 26.

Beth - it's always great to see you on the board. Congratulations on your daughter hitting the double digits. Deanna is a great kid and much of that is due to the love and support that she gets from you and Steven. Sorry to hear about the car. My baby is 13 years old and still going strong. Hope that she lasts me at least another year until I get back on my feet financially.

Nothing too much on my agenda today - tutoring my 10 year old nephew, watching the Phillies game and my godson's b-day dinner. My mom is turning 82 on Tuesday so I am taking her out to breakfast tomorrow to celebrate. It was not easy to get a spot on her social calendar - she is one very busy lady. I am grateful that she is so active. Hope that everyone had a good week. Take care.

Love, Donna

Thanx Lynn, Trish, Beth and Ida,

The principal had a meeting with the IMS board on Thursday. Hopefully she will have some answers for me as to my start date when I speak with her on Monday. I am crossing my fingers for July but know that September might be a real possibility. I appreciate your good thoughts. Take care.
