Support : Mississauga (Cawfee Talk)

Hello!

Our next coffee night will be on Wednesday, October 15th. This is an informal support group for WLS patients and their support people. Absolutely everyone is welcome to attend whether you are just thinking about it, pre-op, newly post-op, out a year or two, or a long-time vet.

The deets:

When: Wednesday, October 15th

Time: 6:30 PM

Where: Tim's on Lakeshore in Clarkson (1785 Lakeshore Road West, Mississauga)

If you would like more information, please either respond to this post or send me a note via PM - I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have! If you are a "first-timer" and maybe don't feel comfortable walking in alone, please don't hesitate to contact me - I will give you my cell # so you can call/text when you get there and I will come meet you.

Having support, and a group of people who understand, is a very valuable tool in achieving our goals!

As an aside, I'm looking for a better space for us to meet. If you have any ideas (in the same area preferably) please let me know!

Really looking forward to seeing everyone!

Karen :)

Hi Karen,

I'm in the process of all my appts and would love the opportunity to come out and chat at the meeting on Oct 15th.

That's great, Angie - looking forward to chatting with you!

Karen what is patts?... Everyone mentions it! Nieve to the process😊

PATTS = Pre Admission Testing and Teaching - meet with nurse, blood work, meet with anesthetist, etc. about a week prior to your surgery, done at the hospital. :)

I'll definitely be there. I'm not familiar with any other places in the area but I'll keep my eyes open should I venture down there in the coming weeks. Thanks for arranging the date/place.

Darn it! I can't make Wednesdays or Thursdays due to kids activities and volunteering.  Is this the only meeting that happens for Mississauga? I would really love to meet new people... But the timing does not seem to work in my favor!

I try to alternate nights so that people can attend when possible (last month we had lunch on a Saturday and coffee on a Tuesday). I will try to remember next month and go for a Tuesday and perhaps you can attend. And, perhaps selfishly, I host on evenings that fit into *my* schedule.

If there is another group in Mississauga, I am certainly not aware of it (other than a Lap Band group - there is one of those run by Tom Ander, but he hasn't posted lately).

Hey! Lol no worries.... Life is busy and you gotta do what works for you!!  I am going to send you a message now...

Just to add - I have offered to meet you for coffee if you would like to have a chat, the two of us (and have offered to others too, of course). If you would like to do that, I would be happy to meet you :)
