Anyone going tonight?

Actually a correction....it's the 4th Tuesday of every month so the next one will be on the 23rd.

Hello,

Is this the night for the "support group" or for the "information" night?  I called Dr. V's office and they told me the next information night was this coming Wednesday.  Perhaps I should call the office again to confirm....

Andrew,

It's looks like Scott corrected himself...did you see the updated date?

It's always great to confirm anyway.

Hope to see you there!

Scott,

Thanks for the info!  I had it down in my date book as the 16th.

Definately will see you there, right?

Hey Robyn,

Sorry you missed the RIH meeting Wednesday. There will be others.

I love all the local meetings! I go to all of them. I can certainly 'roll' with the best of you guys and get something out of each and every meeting.

The RIH meeting was set up much differently than usual. This month it was set up like 'classroom' style. It's usually set up with tables lined up on each side of the room so we are all facing one another.

Actually, this was the first time I was ever frustrated at a meeting. Cathy, I hear ya (no pun intended)! I had major ear surgery in my right ear and am deaf in that ear until I go for reconstructive surgery some time in November.

I was very frustrated because there were, not only monopolizers but people side-talking (loudly too) while others who had raised their hands to speak, were trying to talk. I couldn't hear what the heck they were saying!

Kelly Jo, don't give up going to the meetings. You WILL be heard. I and several others generally stay after each meeting chit-chatting for at least a 1/2 hour. Feel free to stick around with us. Sometimes the 'after' meeting is more informative than the meeting itself!

I love the Miriam meeting. It's definitely one of my most favorites. I will even sit in for the Lapband portion and quietly absorb as much knowledge as I can! It's the fourth Tuesday and sometimes Dr. V. even visits!

If you would like a list of all the Rhode Island meetings, please send me an email to [email protected]. I'll be sure to send it along with all their contact info, times, etc!

Have a great weekend!

Jules,

I won't be giving up...I'm just trying to assert myself a little more.  I was disappointed and I allowed myself to acknowledge it and let someone know.  Since I am relatively new, I didn't want other new attendees to feel the same as I did. ~smile~

I plan on attending the RIH meeting on July 8.  I have spoke with Camille and Sue regarding that meeting and they did state that the room was set up differently and wasn't as easy to facilitate.

I plan on staying around afterwards...I still have a bit of soreness in my back and sitting almost 2 hours just doesn't help much.

Have an awesome weekend!!
