Hi..usually on VSG board but thought I'd pop in and say Hello!

Hi, Just wanted to say hello and welcome you to the board.  We have the same surgery team! Hoping to get to know you better!

Thank you, Dawn.  I hope to get to know you better, too.  I have isolated myself so much over the past few years that I need all the friends I can find.   Yes, we do have the same team.  I just hope they approve me.  I have Medicare, so that's not a problem.  I'll have my third visit with the nutritionist and psychologist this Friday and Monday.  It must have been something I said.

Hello Sherri, Welcome to the board!!! I would encourage you to look for a support group where you live... I really have made some friends in mine and it's a great place to go... I go to a support group through a hospital I did not have surgery at and they welcomed me with open arms! I hope you experience the same! Blessings Jenn

Hi Jenn! thanks so much for the welcome. I am trying to figure out how to find a support group in my area....The hospital is a great start...I will try there...if they don't have one then maybe they will at least know how I can get in touch with one...we have TOPS and CURVES and things like that but I am more interested in a bariatric surgery support group...that deals with eating issues as my food devil comes out sometimes when I am not expecting it..lol

hugs

Sherri

Hi, I'm from Bismarck - right outside of Danville. I go to a WLS support group at Carle Clinic in Urbana. They meet twice a month and it is ran through their bariatric department. If you don't want to drive that far, I would check with local doctors. I checked in Sarah Bush Lincoln's site and they didn't have one listed with their support groups. Good Luck! Mendy
