Hello.  Come and join us... an informal meeting on Monday the 3rd of August at Starbucks  on Mall Road in Burlington. (in the plaza where Dandelion Green on the right before the mall if you are coming from Rte 3A)  

A few of us are going to get together to form a support group.  We will meet at at 6:30 or so.  No one has met eachother yet and we should have a good time meeting and discussing our journeys.  Join us!

I was also thinking that if you have any clothes that you are willing to swap, bring them!!  I have some that I will bring. 

Would love to meet up with new people and am excited to see if we can make a local support group that is not a surgeon group.  Let me know if you need directions or have any suggestions.  I am winging this and am open for suggestions!

Good for you !! I have actually started a support group in Bridgewater - and we just had our second meeting !! It's just to difficult to go in and out of Boston ! It's so much easier to have it close to home and so far I have met so many dynamic, interesting woman !!! 

Good luck !!

Awesome....As stated, anyone should come...pre op, post op, just thinking about having it...I think we all could use some moral support, encouragement and honesty...I could use a butt kicking some days... 

I have clothes to bring of varying sizes and seasons too...mostly bigger ones..but one never knows what you might find.  I will bring what I can and leave them in the car and we can all talk about how we want to handle swapping!!

I cannot wait to meet you all    See y'all Monday night and if you work later...we probably will be there for a while..??  Stop by and look for the group of lovelies!!

Thank you for posting a support group.  I had lap-band surgery back in 2007, I have not been very good at getting fills and seeing the nutrionist, so I'm hoping to attend this meeting and one at Lahey on 8/25 where I had my surgery to get some motivation and support - see ya'll there!!
