cant wait to peddle
Mel b - I started a local support group and last Monday (June 4) was our first meeting, we had 4 people show up, but I think it will grow.

We are meeting the 1st Monday of every month, so our next meeting is July 2 - its held at the Barnes & Noble book store coffee shop.

I know Doc G has one on the 2nd Monday of the month, but they are mainly for RNY patients. I plan on going to his next meeting which is this Monday.

Congrats on your surgery. It only gets better - I am very happy with my outcome. I weighed this morning and have lost a total of 69 lbs now. I weighed 179 this morning, first time in 14 + years I have weighed in the 170's! I am very happy!
