Looking for someone who went through Guelph
I'm not big on groups and I don't really have time to be on the boards a lot - but I'm wondering if there's someone out there who has gone through Guelph and is post op (I'd prefer someone a year out) who I can email or text with that I can ask questions...I've finished my post op food class and now that I'm waiting to see the surgeon, I have questions I'd like to ask someone before I meet with them. Anyone wanna be a question buddy? I promise not to send you a million questions a day! :)
Thanks
Andrea

Tiffany, Tanya and Vanessa - THANK YOU! I will send you each a message in the next day or two. You're all at different stages so I suppose you'll all have different answers for me. Right now we are dealing with a family crisis and are at Freeport every night but I do promise to get back to you all. I need to take some time for me and I need to be prepared for this next stage. I'm excited and scared at the same time...make sense?
thanks sooo much!

I will extend an invitation to you to join the Waterloo/Wellington Gastric Bypass Support Group on Facebook. Just ask to be added and someone will add you. You can get lots of questions answered by many people at once. We also have a meeting on the 4th Sunday of the Month, but you did say you weren't into groups. If you need to speak to someone in person you can contact Sharon Moody @ 519-230-9307.
