We have a group that meets in the North metro at the Barnes and Noble next to Northtown in Blaine on Saturdays from 10:00am to 12:00pm. We welcome all surgery types and love to see new faces! I can't tell you how much I think support groups help you stay on track!

Topic: Sppoky Halloween weigh-in--did the scale scare you?
It scared me!  Hopefully scared me straight!  Halloween parties, Halloween candy and a sore knee have conspired to help me go back up again. 

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week:  139.3
This week: 142.1
This week:  gain of 2.8 lbs 

I am NOT happy about this.  My knee better start cooperating so I can run more.  I'll be glad if the trick-or-treaters clean me out of candy tonight!

Late morning/very early afternoon would work for me.  My sister will have just had her surgery.  I have clothes to bring, and I am in 2x or so, and in need of stuff.

Thanks!
Mary

Jen... Thank you for doing this... I already have it on my calendar and am planning on being there. I have clothes size 26/28 (3x-4x) that I will be bringing plus I have never really cleaned out my closets and have 3 kids ages 8 (boy) 14 (boy) and 16 (girl) and a husband (size XL-XXL) so if there is a need for any other sizes of clothing (Infants-adults) please let me know and I will be happy to bring some of those as well if anyone is interested... I am about an hour southwest of Minneapolis and have a few friends in the area, both WLS and non-WLS who I know would be interested so I could possibly get at least one car-load (if not 2) full of ladies... Michelle

Good morning Linda....great to see you back....it has been a long time!

I had my gall bladder removed years before my RNY. I have never had issues with it. I am so sorry you are having problems and will have to have another surgery.  The G tube is more of a nuisance then anything. I had one for at least a month after my RNY. I remember when they finally took it out how wonderful that felt.

I am wishing you the very best with your surgery. Please keep us updated. Again....glad you are back!

Hugs....connie d

I'm in!!!  I'm bringing in a bunch of 3X things, some 2X things, and an awesome 4X peacoat.

Hopefully someone will be bringing some 1X and XL stuff that I can take  :)

Have you thought about "advertising" this event on some of the main boards?  I think there are some people on there who don't realize that this MN forum exists...
