Was hoping to find a group that meets and i can meet others in my type shoes..  so whens  your next meeting? and do you give rides to folks cause i dont have a car and i am pretty new to the pueblo area. Looking forward to talking more to anyone :)

Just wanted to say welcome to the group!  This group is mostly done through the message board; I live in Michigan. But I'm pretty sure that Patrece who is our group leader will have more information for you.

Good luck on your journey.

patrece is the leader of this group and she hosts a meeting in pueblo west. i'm sure she will come on and talk to you about it. welcome to our little group here.  you will find a lot of support on this web site. good luck to you on your upcoming surgery.  i know how emotions bounce around everywhere. vick

Welcome to the family Christy.  Even though we don't meet face to face, lots of support flows through this group.  I am able to get to one face to face wls support group meeting each month, then they are only once a month, lol.  I need more than one day in 30 or so.  This group fills in the rest of my needs for support.

We do have a chat session each monday evening, notice will be posted tomorrow for the shortcut to chat.  Hope that you are able to participate in chat sessons from time to time.  We chat for about an hour and the topic varies, depending on the needs and questions of the group.

I visited the pueblo area last fall, nice area, so much different from MN where I live.  Feel free to post lots, ask questions, share concerns, joys, comments, wow moments and anything else that pops into your mind.  I look forward to following your adventure.  Hugs

Hi Christy! Welcome to our group! Glad to have you on board with us. This group will be a great place for support and encouragement and getting lots of answers to questions that likely will arise.

As far as the "live" support group meetings, they are held the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 6:30 pm - 8 pm. If you live in the pueblo area, i am sure we can figure out one of us who can provide you with trasportation to and from the meetings. I am willing to do so, but I usually get there a little early to get set up and ready, so you'd have to be willing to arrive early with me.
I'll PM you about this.
Again, welcome! And congrats on your upcoming surgery!

Hello again , thanks for all the great responses. I would love to go to the next meeting ... it will be nice to meet others that know how i am feeling and, i am guessing , to meet people who are all in different stages. As i am in only in post op myself i have had a long 7 year battle trying to get the help to get this. it is a long story lol.. i have been told i should write a book LOL 

 Any who....  i will spare you all the drama .. but maybe one day i will have a vent moment and just post it.. but as for now i am trying to stay as positive as possiable and putting the past behind me
