I actually prefer earlier in the season before the weather gets humid, but -- since I also have a season pass -- I'll go whenever!!

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

That's what I did as well and you can find many others on the E&F forum under weight loss related forums.

Thanks Viki and Lora - I have heard wonderful things about Riverside.  I have been researching them, too.  My husband is interviewing for a position at OSU so I've been focused on that route for the past week or so.  Who knows... maybe their approved list of docs will include Ohio Health docs, too??? ha! 

Lora - I worry about addiction transfer and am going to work on transferring the food addiction to exercise NOW...  and make my health a priority. Too many excuses over the years and I'm tired!

I'll be back here often! This is a great site!

Sorry Tony, I really don't feel up to making this one, but I will be there with bells on next month. The May meeting for the Whipp Road Group requires reservations as they are going to do the Dream Dinners thing that was cancelled in February.  Not sure, still thinking about that one.

Topic: Kings Island Event???

Last time we all met in Dayton we discussed a day at King's Island. 
Does this sound like a good idea?

Time frame?  I LOVE September when it comes to King's Island, but I have a season pass so basically any weekend would work for me.

Just thought I'd get the ball rolling :)

Shed and Share Thursday May 13th 7-8pm in Dr. Anderson's lobby.  EVERYONE welcome regardless of sugery or doctor.

I was thinking Dinner at 6pm at the Kettering Atrium cafeteria?  We did this last time and it went well for newly post ops.  People have expressed they were tired of BW3s and Panera, so I figured maybe try Kettering's cafeteria a few times.

Thoughts?


Hope to see everyone there!

I "second" everything that Tony said.  I would aslo add that, if you are considering the RNY, you should NOT count on the dumping syndrome to keep you fropm eating sweets since MOST RNY patients either do not dump at all or it takes a lot of sugar (more than you can "afford" calorically) to make it happen.  (Many surgeons don't tell prospective patients that less than half of RNYers dump.)

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I DEFINITELY recommend counseling prior to surgery,  Many people have the surgery expecting 1) that the food issues that made trhem obese in the first palce will magically go away (they won't) and/or 2) that many of the problems they have are weight-related (e.g. relationship issues) and that thosie problems will solve themselves once they lose the weight (most of the time, they won't, because many problems that people attribute to weight have nothing to do with weight).  It will certainly increase yourt chances for success after surgery (if you decide to have surgery at all).

Let us know if you have any questions.
