Topic: Reminder - Sun City group meeting change
Don't forget, we won't be meeting at Menke's this month. We WILL be meeting at the Lakeview Recreation Center near 105th & Thunderbird. There is a beautiful walking trail and numerous gazebos to meet in. Pull into the Rec center parking lot and look for the tennis courts (tall fences with green fabric on them). We'll be meeting in that area and then go to the gazebo. I'll have copies of the OH Magazine as well as some protein snack samples with me.
To get there, just turn North off 103rd or 107th Avenue and go to the next traffic light (Thunderbird), turn left off 103rd or right off 107th and go to the Lakeview Rec Center. Don't use the turn at 105th by the bowling alley but turn directly into the large parking lot. Have I got you confused yet? It's really easy to find but it's on the EAST side of the Rec center building between the building and the Lakeview Lanes.

Gina,
It's been forever since I have been on... but there used to be a woman at SBC, she did my gallbladder removal and screwed it up, popped it pretty much... pain was horrible! Blackstone had to fix her mistake. Forgot her name... I am sure it will come to me.
I meet with Chananos (spelling) back in January with some concerns I have.

Topic: RE: I just got approved!!
Thank you so much it is nice to talk to someone who has used him! Ya its hard for me because I only get to meet him 2 times beofre surgery which I dont really like and my case manager NEVER calls me back which comes off to me as unproffesional. So I will be talking to them about that tomm. I got all my pre op testing sone in a week and they did not believe me. Hope it gets better so my anxiety subsides! How long after you got approverd was your surgery? Good luck ladies!

Hi Jena,
Congratulation on you upcoming surgery. I have Dr Podakemini. The first couple of meeting before surgery he seemed cut and dry but I really like him the more I get to know him.. I got the band so I've had to see him more often. I will keep you in my prayer for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery.
