Hi everyone!  I just found this group - I have been playing around on the VSG forum.  Glad to have found this local group, though! 

I was just sleeved on June 27, 2012.  I live in St. Paul area.  Are there any support groups/meetings in the area?  I love the forums, but I also know that I am going to want to meet local friends IRL, also!

Hope to get to know all of you soon!

 I was glad I got to ride with you. It certainly helped me get extra miles in after having company for five days. I must have ushed a bit too as I got some cramping in my hamstrings. I put in about 32 miles this past week. SO what it did for me was to put me at the lower weight number in my range. So I was 255 Monday morning. This week will really be tough as the heat is just draining on the body. I barely went outside today. I will try and get a ride in early tomorrow befre it gets too hot. 

 Do you have a Walmart nearby? Before my TT two weeks ago, I went there to the clearance area, and found tons of larger sized clothes for 1-5 $ each. A lot were really cute clothes. It was cheaper than the thrift stores and since I will only need them till I am done swelling, it wasn't worth the investment. Since you are only 2 months out, you don't want to buy a ton either because that will not fit you for very long anyways. Good luck. 

I hate asking for help but I am at a point where I really need it. See I had my surgery almost 2 months ago. My clothes are starting to get far too big on me. I have checked the local thrift stores and cannot find anything the right size without paying only a couple dollars less than brand new, and the quality is def too low for that price. So, what I am in need of is clothes. Size 2-3x pants and shirts. I do not have a lot of money so I am looking for things very cheap! I will be down in St. Paul on July 9 and would be able to meet people then I am hoping. Thank you in advance.
