Saturday's Boston Get Together

Just a reminder and invitation to all preop, post op, just thinking and spouses and significant others. We are getting together on Saturday at four at Romano's Macaroni Grill in Burlington. If you have already responded you don't need to again, but if you would like to attend please email me so I can give them an approximate count. We currently have about fifteen attendees. Come play with us.

This is going to be such fun. Thank you for posting this and the invite. I cannot wait to see everyone. Lorraine

Well I finally made it but will not be able to attend this one. Are you going to organize this every month I think a get together would be great. I am sorry I am missing this one. Amy

Hi Amy, Sorry you can't make this one. We are trying to organize one every month, I think there is talk of something on eighth of December, as we have a few out of staters comming then!!!! Our reputation is growing

This sounds awesome. I'm new, not contemplating surgery but just going through the beginning parts of the process. Am definitley doing it as long as my insurance company pays for it. I would def like to attend but am unable to this weekend. Will they all be north of boston or will any go as far as Braintree? I actually live in Carver so I'm willing to travel a bit. It would be nice to meet everyone that is going through or has gone through what I have.

Debbie, This get together as well as a support meeting would benefit you and give you more information on making an informed decision about weight loss surgery. If you can't make this get together, our support meeting is at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital School of Nursing On Nov. 16 at 6:30 pm. The Nursing School is right next to the main entrance to the Hospital on Govenors Rd in Medford. You could sit on the pre op side and get a very good idea from pre and post op patients about the entire process. Hope to see you there. Stephanie

Hi Debbie, Welcome aboard... Sorry you can't make this Saturday. This is a fairly new group get together, so it's possible we will do something south of Boston. As Stephanie said we are a great source of info but our Dr and his hospital group that meets once a month is awesome. I have learnd so much and have made some great contacts there. As Stephanie said the next one is November 16th. We'll let everyone nnow the details of next get togethers as they become available.

Hi Rita, I just read your message. I am post-op. I had lap band surgery April 24, 2006. I would have like to come tomorrow but for me I can't make it. Please let me know when you are meeting again. I live in Peabody. That sounds like a great idea for everyone who has had WLS. Thanks Donna Marie Kelley

hi Rita, how did the night out go? did you guys have a good time? Just curious does Macaroni Grill serve wheat pasta? I heard they dont and most meals are served with pasta. keep us posted on the December one! I'd love to go if its early in the day.

Hi, Saturday was awesome as usual. We usually do somewhere different each time. We'll keep everyone posted as soon as we have more info. If you scroll down on the main board until late Saturday night Doug Sylvester has posted pictures.
