Met a DSer for the first time today!!

It seems very very strange to say that, 6 months after my surgery, I finally met a fellow dser. I've never met one before!  Very strange. I was feeling all alone in North Fla. :)

I went to the Central Fla DS support group today in Orlando. Everyone was very very nice and took the time to speak with me. I definitely liked the group better than a bariatric support group. Definitely plan on going back!

The funniest part was one of the DSers was born and raised in the same poe dunk tiny town I live in 3 hours away. What a small, small world.

 
I'm so glad you were able to 'finally' meet a fellow DSer!!

Isn't it fun to meet someone who is walking in your same shoes - so to speak??

Sure is great to have a group you enjoy - and happy to hear you've found one!!!

  Hi Julie ..   ltns!    How has your weight loss been going?  

Must be in the cards today, I met my first DSers today too!  Glad you had a good time!

 Aww now I'm jealous D: I have yet to meet a fellow DSer

Isn't it great? Like a reunion of refugees from some obscure country, or a different planet.

It was wonderful to meet you today. I am just sorry we had to leave so early and missed having a good chat.  The next meeting will be in Dec. I hope you will be there so we will get a chance to gab.

Isn't that a great group!!??  I loved going to those meetings, seeing everyone and talking up a storm.  Some of the nicest people I've met.  Sonja and Nat AMAZE me every time I see them.

I lived in Jacksonville for five years before coming to Texas.  Where are you located?  I love Florida, I get back here every chance I get!

Glad you had a great time.

Yes- I have to agree they are an amazing couple.  And the group has been an invaluable source of support and information. 

I'm sorry you weren't feeling well, Red, but you look fantastic!! So glad to meet you.
