Celebration of Less is more in GA -Brunswick, GA

I am so excited! Our yearly celebration is October 4th and I just wanted to let everyone know that it is open to anyone interested in it. It is an event that is put on by our hospital and doctors. At the event there are vendors, speakers and give aways. Some of the local WLS patients will be in a fashion show after lunch. That night is a dinner and dance where we all can celebrate our journey. You can find out more by going to http://www.sghs.org/body.cfm?id=378 .

Phyllis,
Are you from Brunswick GA?  I am from SSI, and my husband grew up in Brunswick.  We both grew up there our whole lives, and unfortunately now have to live in CA, not by choice, but by job.

My parents sold our home on SSI, and moved up to McIntosh with the rest of SSI it seems, and built a house on the river up there.  I really really really have been so homesick lately!! 

We went to the GA vs. Arizona game a couple of weeks ago, and were so fired up, and were going to get tickets for the GA/FLA game, but then they lost last week to stupid Alabama, so our excitement has faded a bit, not sure if we will get home for the GA/Fla game anymore or not??

So, when did you have your surgery?  It seems you had it in GA?  I wish my mom would have it, but she will not even think of it.

I had my surgery 3 yrs ago in Charleston SC, and it was a Godsend!  So glad I did it, and its been amazing.

Just recently however, I have gained like 10-15lbs and cannot determine why, other than I am 3 yrs post op??  It is so depressing, but I am trying to do anything to get this weight off!

Best of luck, just had to say hello to someone from back home!  Don't see that often!!

Sincerely,

Deborah Schueler
