Hope to see you there!! 
This morning's meeting was great! A nice intimate gathering of four. It was funny, but Carole & I saw each other from around 30-40 feet away and she says "You're Gwen, aren't you?" I had a feeling she was Carole too. It is great having this board to make that early connection and bond together.
Thank you SO MUCH ladies (Carole, Jodie & Eileen) for getting up and meeting me for some great Java and conversation this morning!! I really wish I could have stayed longer. In my opinion, it was a great success and would love doing it again sometime...SOON!!! Listening to your stories has got me excited all over again.
Carole - I hope to be half as in-love with my new tummy (friend) that you are!!
Jodie - It amazes me that you are only a few weeks out and are doing so well. You beam happiness!
Eileen - You are proof that WLS isn't a temporary "fix"! I really appreciated that you are 4 yrs out and took the time to share with us newbies. You are a great inspiration.
Hugs and Happiness to all!!
