Hi there! I am new to this message board. A friend in Topeka recommended I visit this site, and I love it! I live in Hutchinson, and would love to be able to attend a support group! I know there is one somewhere in Wichita, but where, and when?  I have not had the surgery yet, but am set for August 6th in Columbia, MO. My insurance would not pay anywhere closer, but I do have a lot of confidence in my surgeon and the facility. They have been super!  I sure hope you're feeling up and at 'em now. I have several friends who have had this surgery, and I am really anxious for it. My friend in Topeka, who lost 150 lbs, looks so fabulous and says she can't believe how good she feels, though admits the hardest part for her was the 10 days of liquid only. I figure it is ten days out of my life on my way to my NEW life! I am READY!!!!  God bless all of you! It is good to know there are those on this site to support me, and I, in turn, hope to be able to support and inspire as my journey begins!

Hi Erin!

I live in Topeka and attend the meetings at Tallgrass. The monthly meeting on Tuesday night is all that I have attended. We just had one last night and they are a great way to connect with others on the same journey.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with Topeka, but I have lived here most of my life and would be happy to fill you in on T-town! Amie

Hi Kat, I have been busy making calls, and trying to get our new support group from just a plan,  to a reality!!! With my busy schedule it does  make it difficult, mark  my word....THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!  We all need the support!!!!! I'm sure there are more of us around this area that has had, or is looking into WLS, and just the getting  together would help all of us. One thing we will want to start thinking of is name for our group. If you come up with any ideas, I'm always open to them. I'll keep you updated on the progress. I promise you, one  way or the other, we all will be able toenjoy a support group in the (hopefully) very near future!!! Have a great day Hugs Theresa

HI, I've been working  on trying to get this support group a "happening thing". I know that just having the support from others will make a difference, not just for myself, but for others as well. Not having had your surgery yet, it would give you a great opportunity to visit with those who have had their surgery,  and for those who have had their surgery, it will  give us an opportunity to share our stories, and personal experiences. I will keep an update on this forum as I make progress. Wish me luck!!  I'm looking forward to meeting you in the (hopefully) very near future!!!! Hugs Theresa

Thanks for posting on this side Erin. How cool that you wrote your surgery story while it was really fresh in your head. 

Tallgrass Prairie has a group in Topeka...can't remember what day it is. I'll be going to Olathe's group regularly so if you want to come to my house in Lawrence and drive the rest of the way with me you'll be more than welcome. See you tonight! Robin

Theresa, I would love to be part of a support group.  Let me know if there is anything I can do.  My aunt who had surgery a few years ago would like to come also, I think. Keep me informed if anything comes of this. Thanks, Kat
