Hello: Yes, I have same problem. I am the COR for my Pack 297 in Camden De. Everything is too big including my expensive hunting gear and rain suite too. So I replace a little at a time. Our boy scout troop has a "community closet" where you can donate your old clothes or camping gear to help out the scouters who might be financially strap. The boys go through several sizes during that time frame.

Alex, this is what I use. OPTISOURCE Chewable Vitamin & Mineral Supplement OPTISOURCE Chewable Vitamin & Mineral Supplement is specially formulated to meet unique nutrient needs following bariatric surgery. Contains high levels of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, folic acid, thiamin, and zinc. No artificial color. Now with Calcium Citrate—a more absorbable form of calcium and the recommended form of calcium after bariatric surgery.

Good Luck to you guys, It has been a long Journey but you now have arrrived!

I understand, that part of the reason I started a group in Dover. That list gives you some other options. I hope one will work for you.

Hello: I found this listing on a different website, it seems to list a lot but the did not list my group but that is OK, I am not close enough for you so check out the list. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/PA/27772/re-Delaware-support-Group-list/ I would thought you doctor would have said to go to the CHRAIS Support Group. However, you can go to any support groups or multiple ones. Sounds like you need the support, so find one that fits or at least become active on the On line support sites. Good Luck!
