Yes, I'm planning on it.  I would think he would welcome anybody to his meetings. Even if you have the rny, you'd have some of the same concerns post-op. Malabsorption, restriction, ets. PLus it's always good to get out and meet new people.  I can't imagine them turning anybody away because they don't have the DS. He's just not that type of person

Are you coming to the meet n greet Izzy? It's on the southside, so I'm gonna be mad if you don't.

LASHELLE, I PROMISE TO BE AT THIS MEET AND GREET! IT'S CLOSE TO HOME, HOW COULD I MISS IT! I'LL BE AT THE MEET AND GREET ALSO WITH BELLS ON!! LOL

PS. LASHELLE , I KNOW DR. MAYNARD SURELY WILL NOT TURN ANYONE AWAY, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT RNY FRIENDLY THE WHOLE TIME. IT NOT BASHING RNYers BUT A RNYer MAY NOT BE VERY COMFORTABLE THERE.     I KNOW I WOULDN'T BE!! LOL... BUT ANYHOO IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME I KNOW I WILL TRY TO WELCOME  YOU WITH OPEN ARMS....

I'll be there to welcome you too.  I'd rather see a rny'er go to a DS meeting, than no meeting at all.

I thought Dr. Maynard did rny too?

I know he focuses on the ds, but thought he did both?

They meet at 7pm the first Tuesday of each month.  Angie Babb is the facilitator and she is the greatest!!

My surgeon is Dr. Celio Burrowes and my surgery will be at Atlanta Medical Center.  I'm sure I will have LOTS of questions in the future!!   Thanks,  Patti
