I'm definitely interested - it would depend on how challenging of a walking/hiking program you were thinking. What did you have in mind?

I would like to start a hiking or walking group in the Dayton area. I am shooting for Saturday mornings. Let me know if you are interested.

Topic: Hiking/Walking Group in Dayton?

Would anyone be interested in being a part of a walking or hiking group in the Dayton area? There are several great trails at the different Metro Parks. I just don't like to hike alone. I'm such a baby! haha I would love to start up a hiking group for Saturday mornings. Would anyone else be interested?

The Metro Parks has a Hike for the Health of it program but it's on Saturday afternoons. I would much rather get it over with in the morning, since after losing weight, I suddenly found out that I was a morning person after all. Who knew! haha

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

Oh boy you are so right...that is a very old post. It was my very first (and likely now last) time on the Ohio Weight Loss Forum. I usually go to the VSG forum and things move along constantly there so I have never had to consider it. Sorry if my attempt to help (I have gotten incorrect information before and I was just trying to let you know that they do the VSG) caused you any inconvenience.

How strange to hear you say St. VIncent's told you that the don't do the sleeve. My husband's surgery is on the 19th and my daughter and I are just waiting for insurance approval. Dr. Ben Meir is doing our surgeries, all 3 are VSG! If you like SVCH over CC or UHC I would try to reach his office directly. Best of luck to you!

Hello!

Not sure yet about having a clothing exchange here...I am checking into it, but no decision yet. It depends on if the space is able to be found, etc. I will post about it if something works out!

Thanks for asking!

Regards,
Kim
