Abbott and Park Nicollet Support Meetings



Recommended Posts

Is anyone going to the Lap-Band Support Group meeting tonight at Abbott Northwestern? I attended my first one a few months back and this is the first opportunity I have had to be able to attend another one. I'm really looking forward to it, since I'm now "on the other side".

Here's what you need to know if you want to attend (I copied this from the OSSGMN calendar...):

LapBand support group at Abbott Northwestern Hospital Founders Mall Conference Room at the Sister Kenny Pavillion. Contact information:Joni Callahan 612-863-7501

Also, is anyone on this list planning to attend the Park Nicollet Support meeting tomorrow night? I've been told I will be the only bandster, but I'm interested in attending this since it's so close to home and I had my surgery through Park Nicollet.

Thanks.

The next meetings should be coming up soon. I think it was the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. I will have to check for sure. I had my band done at pnc by Dr. Wetherille too. It would be great to meet you sometime.

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if you heard, but Park Nicollet has created a new meeting just for their Lap-Band patients. The first ever meeting is at 6:00 PM on February 1 - Wednesday. I understand there will be monthly meetings for the time being - on the first Wednesday of the month.

The meeting will be held at 5050 Excelsior Blvd. in St. Louis Park. This is the old Citizens State Bank building and it's in front of the main Park Nicollet Clinic buildings.

Dr. Weatherille is also my surgeon and I'd love to me you and other PNC bandsters.

See you there!

I just got some info about the band meeting today. I plan on going tomorrow night as long as my schedule doesn't change.

Hope to see you there!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
