DFW Support Group Questions
Just had a couple of q's about the support groups in the area.
I know about the Ft. Worth one , Losing it for Life and Bayley's Breakfast (is that the same as Losing it for Live? Not sure).
1. Are there others?
2. Remind me, is Ft. worth the same as Rise and Shine or is that diff?
3. Do the Ft. Worth support group meeting and the Bayley's breakfast always coincide? I wanted to go to both, and RSVPed to the Breakfast and it seems the last few times I noticed they were on the same day....then again, I've been on some pretty good pain meds in the last month and might have confused something!
I want to get involved and just looking to see what the options are!
thanks!!!

I think I can answer all but two parts of the question. I am not 100% that Losing it for Life and Bayley's B-fast is the same thing. I'm thinking yes however Vivian will be able to answer you.
1. There are the specific hospital and doctor support groups that take place though the month. Also the breakfasts are not all that the group do. There are sometimes dinners, baseball games and such.
2.-3. The post titled "Fort Worth Support Group" that was started by Bryan is the Rise and Shine breakfast. Bryan and us are there every other Saturday, so two times a month. The Bayley's breakfast is the last Saturday of the month so once a month. Yes since I have been on here they have been the same Saturday at the end of the month, but since Bayley's is once a month, Vivian (who posts the Bayley's breakfast) was at Rise and Shine earlier this month.
OK did I make you more confused? I think I made me more confused so I wouldn't be suprised if you were as well.
Have a great day and I hope to see you at Rise & Shine soon. Not that I wouldn't goto Bayley's but I don't wish to travel that far (sorry Vivian, hope to see you again). I will hush and head back to my normal spot.
1st Ticker is Since Weight Loss Journey Started
2nd Ticker is Since Surgery 1/21/2010
The Bailey's Breakfast is Dr. Kim's group that meets only 1x a month - usually the last Saturday or 4th Saturday of the month.............it is DIFFERENT than the Lose if For Life.............
The breakfast is social...........the Lose it for Life is structured meeting.........usually with a topic.
As for the Baileys and Ft Worth R&S................the good news is that that the R&S (Rise and Shine) meets every other week; whereas the Bailey's only meets 1x a month - so you can hit up the R&S at least 1 time a month and still do the Bailey's too........
The R&S is also a social group........as the Bailey's group is .......
Can't wait to meet you tomorrow !! (((((((((huggs)))))))))))))))) ? Have a GREAT day !!
