Thank you for everything!

Our dates are not fixed yet... and I will attend your meetings everytime that I can! i would welcome you to come anytime.

I am in Mexico having my surgery on 1/29 and not returning til 2/1.  I would have liked to attend but my wls is calling me.

i really am looking for an offline support meetup group of other wls people who understand what this is all about and hope this group is a  success.

Our first meeting is on January 30th at 10:00am in Middletown. (see events and discussion topics for details). Please make every attempt to attend. This first meeting we will focus on discovering "who we are" and "where are we going?" I was involved with a group along the CT shoreline last year that fell apart due to apathy. I didn't give up. I traveled the area and discovered what support groups are supposed to be... at LIPO (Long Island Post Ops) in Long Island, NY. We can form a meaningfull group here too. It will supplement your Hospital/Surgeon sponsored programs. If you want to be part of a support group that meets your needs, show up and express yourself, give us your ideas and experiences... help make this support group "yours". We plan to meet at least once per month, have many group activities, and Gloria is hosting a weekly Chat (Wednesday at 8:00PM). You joined our group because you recognise how important support is after surgery or you are preop and have questions..... let CCCares be part of your journey and your success. Thanks, Dan
