I'm going too!!

Hi all,

I almost decided to take a trip up to VA this weekend, but decided that financially, it would be unwise.  Oh well, today is recycling, vet, computer store, groceries and pay bills. Unpacked more boxes yesterday and so my car is full of them.  Did not get any studying done.  I may do some of that today.  I still need to do some cleaning as well as organizing.  Me thinks I will be busy.

Thanks, I made my appointment and it was really easy. I called and Dr. Yoo's Nurse called and had them transfer my file. It took her 2 hours. They are good.

Here are the closest support groups I know of:

this one is in Manteo, http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/outerbanks/

there is one in Jacksonville, http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/southeasternncwlssupport/

another in Greenville, http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/LadiesofChallenge/

I hope this helps some.

 

Hey Barb, I quit doing the bi-monthly meetups because the attendance dropped off so much; the last one I scheduled was last Dec. and no one showed up except for me so I just gave up.  I did send out a notice to let folks know that if anyone wanted to pick it up and run with it to go right ahead.  I was in a bad place having just lost Mom and with Ronnie's Mom deteriorating quickly so I decided to let someone else have a turn.

You are so right about our lives running parallel in so many ways.  I am working on the 10 pounds; I have my 4 year follow up with Dr. Chapman on Oct. 18th so that has given me a deadline to get at least 5 pounds off if not more by then.  I'm really having lots of problems with bloating.  He thought I had an internal hernia and did exploriatory surgery last summer but didn't find one.  The last time I saw him for follow up last fall he said that the bloating is probably a symptom of IBS.  I have made all kinds of adjustments in my diet but haven't really found that any particular food(s) make it worse or better.  Very frustrating....  I'll be talking with him again about that next month. 

Well, best get back to work.  Take care my friend and I hope to make it to one of your meetings in Raleigh one day.  When we head up that way, we usually stick to the Garner area where the grandbabies are.  I have 2 now; Dale and Sandy had another girl in July; her name is Amelia Elisabeth (Lily) and is just as special as Scarlet.  I am so blessed!
