Melissa you did a great job facilitating the first meeting of the group. This is the first support group meeting that I have been to after my surgery in October and I really enjoyed. Ira it was so great to see how you support Melissa and all of us. I do believe this group will add to my success with my "tool".
I look forward to seeing everyone on June 17th. Susan

Last night Melissa led her first Group Meeting for O.H. We had about 8 people including us there. Melissa has worked very hard not only losing weight, but training many hours to become a Group Leader.  Training for this group and watching her last night just continues to show her deep passion for Bariatric Surgery. I truly believe that if we could afford some day “to take her show on the road” we would. Melissa and I cannot wait to see all of you again next month. And not to brag again but I love her so much for what she is doing for herself and others.

Thank you to Beverly, Robert, Susan, Jerry, Mike , Dorothy and my dear Ira for participating in our first support group meeting!  I was delighted to have a great turn out.  It was amazing to see that we have people who are willing to drive a little to find us!

Wow three different kinds of surgery...but the results are the same.   Life is better with the changes we are making!   

I really appreciate those who joined us for the first meeting!  I can't wait to spread the news.   My next goal is to get this group going so we can continue some of the discussion here!

Less than a week to go to our first meeting!   I can't wait...Ira has decided to get his certification as well so  he has been approved he just has to finish the classes...it will great to have him by my side in this as well.

There are so many topics that I am not sure where to start so I guess we will do some brainstorming with the group to see what everyone is interested in.   There are 2-3 people who will be joining us who are very close to their surgery date!   It is great to help them through this exciting time.  

I can't wait to meet everyone!
