OH Support Group in Madison Area

I am thinking of starting a Support grouop in the Madison-Southwest Wisconsin Area. I have volunteered to be a Obesityhelp Chapter Leader. We are looking for WLS people at any stage, who would be interseted in attending. Please let us know what day of thw eek that you could NOT attend. We will keep you posted as to our status. Also let us know if you would like to volunteer in some manner, as we are looking for some help to get this group going. Thanks and we are looking forward to meeting all of you soon. Please contact me by either responding to this message or clicking on the "email" button on this message board. Thanks, Gala Gardiner RNY 7-06-04 305-221-~healthier~

Dang it all, girl. Get your buns up north here and get a group started in Medford. There are quite a few of us now. (Us as in 'me, too' very soon, if all goes well.) I've got 2 neighbors within walking distance that both had LAP RNY, and several more people right in town. No, I don't have the confidence or smarts to start a group. Best luck in your venture.

Hey, Gala! I am definitely interested in attending! I am reluctant to volunteer at this time due to a heavy schedule including work, parenting, court,(divorce) etc. But I might be available to help on an occassional basis. I cannot meet on Thursdays or Fridays. I look forward to meeting you soon, too. Shari

Hi Gala. I AM DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN ATTENDING AND AS A VOLUNTEER!!! I work a rotating 2-week schedule so that would mean that if I have Monday off the first week, I would have to work it the second week and then back to having it off the next etc...Understand?? As far as what day works for me, since I have that kind of schedule, I could be there every other week depending on how far of a drive it would be. Please keep me in mind. This has been a very rewarding experience for me and would like to give back if possible. Talk to you soon...Captain K-man
