Nashville Walk

Hi all!  My name is Rachael and I had surgery May 22, 2006 at Vanderbilt in Nashville.  I am looking for other folks in the area who might be interested in joining the WalkFromObesity that is being held there on Sept. 29th.  The website is www.walkfromobesity.com Possibly you are already walking in it?  I would like to know!  I wanted to do it so badly last year, but wasn't really well enough.  Now I want to go and have a great time!!! Thanks Rachael

Hi Rachael,           We do have a team called the Lunch Bunch and you are more than welcome to join our team, because we would love to have you there.  Susan and I both are serving on the committee that is organizing the Nashville Walk, if you need anything please feel free to ask!! Shelia

Well I am excited.  I saw the LunchBunch listed but did not know it was you all.  I will go out and sign up.  Is it ok if my husband walks with us...and possibly another friend?  I don't know if there is a limit.  I live in Sewanee, TN so I am not familiar with Cool Springs where you all are having lunch.  Can you let me know?  Also, I have NOOOO CLUUEEE where the walk is and how to get there.  I come into Nashville on 24 from the East.   Thanks guys! Rachael

Yea, what Shelia said. I did the walk last year and had a great time! Several of us are planning on going somewhere downtown for lunch after the walk. You are welcome to join us for that too. To give you a little background on the Lunch Bunch, we are a group who meets the second Saturday of each month for lunch, gabbing, clothing exchange, etc. We have all had or are preparing for/researching WLS. We don't care what type, what hospital, or what surgeon someone uses. We are simply a support for others having or seeking WLS. We are always open to new members, our number grows each month. Please join us for the walk and lunch afterwards. Susan

Hi Rachael. I am going to be in the walk for the first time to. Are you coming to Nashville for it? I also had surgery at Vanderbilt a month after you (6/22). If you want to register, go to the website and click on the Lunch Bunch Group and you can join our group. Hope to see you there!

I know I've asked this before but my memory is failing me...what time do we need to be there on the 29th? and where is it exactly? Can someone get me directions?
