Just a note to sing praises for the support group at Baptist Hospital.  I don't post much but I felt compelled to do so because I know that so many of us do not attend support groups.  If you are searching for a place to get revived and excited about your weight loss surgery...come to our group.  It's kind of like getting your bariatric battery recharged.   Never dull and always informative!  Support groups are wonderful when they work the way they are supposed to.

Wonderful Wednesday!

And ours sure works! 

We'll give Paula, our fearless leader, some credit but we have such a great batch of "old timers" who are willing to share their experience and wisdom...I am thankful for you all after every meeting.

p.s.  I think I found my dummy bone last night!

Hear, hear!!

I love our group at Baptist. There is always something to learn, whether it is a pre-op taking us back to the reasons we chose surgery or reminding us of how difficult the pre-op diet was; a new op needing to hear that everything is normal and it will get better; or folks at goal reminding us to continue to follow the rules for long term success.

And then there are the triumphs like finding collar bones, "dummy" bones, getting rid of kankles, or seeing someone walk into the meeting instead of being wheeled in (yeah Sabrina!)

Support groups are vital to long term success. If you have not found a support group home, I strongly recommend you start looking for one. We always have room for more at Baptist and Paula ROCKS!!!!

Even if she doesn't have collar ID. LOL

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

We do have a good support group.  I laughed so hard about the "collar (bone) ID".
