Topic: Before and After Photos
There was a question about B&A photos for the gallery. So everyone knows this is basically the rules for that.... Eric nor I have ever said standing only for B&A Photos. I don't know where this is written, it's not true. And we've always requested from knees up... we just don't want a face shot only. And some don't have a knees up type of photo for before... what my letters have always stated to members are, "You might not have a full body for a before photo, but you've lost 100#... come on.. show it off! You can always take the current/after photo!" There are many photos on there w/ people sitting. Those are OK. Eric's favorite type of photos are where the person is in the same position in the after shot that they were in the before shot... and some after shots are even taken next to that same tree, or same railing, or same fireplace or in the same chair. Those are great for comparisons on how well you've done, but they have never been required. I apologize for confusion. Please, if there's ever any questions on any of this, instead of starting wars amongst yourselves, please, always come and ask me first. I don't seem very visible these days.. I'm taking three classes again and am finally getting that diploma :grad: I've been waiting and working so hard for (next step, the AAS, in ONLY six classes), but I'm always here for you. I might not get back to you the same day, but I will get back to you.. or one of my assistants will, if they can help you. If they can't help you, then my door's always open.

Topic: RE: looking for support for a friend....
I'm having my surgery done in Sioux Falls and My doctor recommended The Sioux Falls Gastric Bypass Support Group. Meetings are held at 7:pm on the 2nd Thursday of each month at Avera McKennan Fitness Center Conference Room. 3400 S. Southeastern Avenue. Sioux Falls, SD. Here's the Write up on it: A Patient-Led Support Group. The sioux Falls Gastric Bypass Support Group is a patient-led group that offers a supportive environment in which individuals are able to share experiences and information and ask questions of others. Gastric bypass surgery is a life-changing operation. That is why this group promotes healthy lifestyle changes and features speakers each month who discuss a wide range of topics relating to gastric bypass surgery. As part of the Avera Bariatric Institute, the Center for Bariatric Medicine/Avera Health, Dakota Surgical, and the Surgical Institute of Souoth Dakota are prout to support this group. After-surgery support is an important part of a successful treatment plan for individuals indergoing gastric bypass. We also recognize the importance of this group for individuals and their "support person(s)" contemplating gastric bypass surgery. I hope this helps
