Topic: RE: Thrifty Thursday Roll Call
Looks like NM is my next new home possibly. DH has a face to face in NM with Intel. They have already sent him his travel stuff and he is to be there for three days next week. I checked out the Community College already and they have a human nutrition degree program. So even though it will slow my studies down (I can only take 6 units at a time for the first year there until residency is established) I can still get a degree that I am completely interested in before trandferring to 4 year. In fact an AA in human nutrition would have been my first choice if it had been available here. Must be meant to be. I have to leave all my good friends behind here but I know I can do okay in NM so yes good things are happening.

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Hi,

They meet 3rd Saturday of each month and the DS group meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month so a weekday meeting will probably work.  I am going to be looking for a location soon.

I'd be able to do weekedays at 7pm or 6:30pm at the earliest, except for Thursdays. I l**** the idea of it eing on alternating weeks. When does the other support group meet? Do they do weekday evenings or weekends or what?

Topic: Update on Durham Support Group
Hi all,

Getting some interest in wanting a Durham group.  It looks like we MAY be able to use a room in the Library.  I saw there are three libraries in Durham so I will check them out.  What I need from you all is dates and times you would want to meet.

Hi all,

I think it is going to be a glorious day!  I feel something good is going to happen.  I send all the positive happy vibes your way!

Today is a few errands and that is pretty much it.

Hi,

I need to do some research on possible locations to have it.  I also will need to get some feedback from all of you as to the day and time you want to meet.

Hi, I'm with Dr. Sudan as well. Have you talked with Shelia Peeler, his nurse? I've been antsy and have called a good number of times to ask about my status. It may not have gotten me in more quickly but it was good to know more about the process and she helped me. Just my two cents. Her number is 470-7017.

Do let me know if you start a Durham group. I'd be interested. My surgery is June 3rd and I live here in wonderful Durham. I've not gone to a support group and this is my first step into the forums and chat groups. An actual group would be lovely. I've already run into a wall; I'd love to have someplace to meet or someone(s) to call.

This must have been so disappointing!  I wish you the best of luck with your pre-surgery diet and hopefully the next month will go by fast!

Good luck!
