I have a suggestions why doesn't everyone come to the Walk from Obesity in Spartanburg on 9/24 everyone can meet up there and then decide if they would like to start a group. There will be patients from all of the dr offices. I will be there and would love to meet all of you. Here is the link for the information and the registrations forms. We are going to have some great door prizes and it should be a lot of fun. http://www.walkfromobesity.com/upstatesc/index.php Hope to see you all there Deb

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT DAY MS DEB ... GOTTA CHECK NICK'S WORK SCHEDULE ... DO THEY EVER HAVE WALKS HERE IN THE LOWCOUNTRY (CHARLESTON AREA) GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

They are having one this year in Columbia. We have a motel in Spartanburg that is giving us a dicounted rate if you are interested in coming up for the walk. Last year we walked in Greenville and had around 50 people hopefully this year we will double that number. We had a lot of fun last year and I am sure we will have a great time this year as well.

THANKS DEBRA FOR THE INFO ... LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PASS THIS ONE ... HOPE IT IS A WONDERFUL SUCCESS! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

Yeah! I'm so happy to find some interested in getting together. Let me see what I can find out and I'll get back with you. In the mean time where would you all think would be a good place to meet? Maybe since we're spread out we could take turns visiting each others towns. Let me know what time of the month works for everyone and when, where etc. and we'll figure something out ok? Great! The date could be flexable every month as well. ~Dawn http://p084.ezboard.com/bletstalkaboutweigh****chers

Hi Dawn! My name is Chad Haulbrook and I'm from Williamston. I had surgery last November so I am about 11mos post op. Dr. Bour in Greenville was my surgeon. I've been really lucky, I've had no problems. Feel free to email me with any questions. I would be more than happy to answer them. Chad

Welcome to the board Chad. I'm hoping that we will be able to get something going here in the upstate. 11 mos post op, huh?? Sounds like you have a lot of experience to share. I haven't had a consult with the doctor yet...but I'm ready!! Dianne
