Anyway - good idea Robin, we can set up our own thread and quit monopolizing my super size thread. But I can't post in here anymore 'cause I'm in MO.

Scheduled for another fill next Friday! I'm at 2 in a 4, so I'm going to see about 1/4 cc or so. I have restriction, just not enough... but don't want an overfill either.

Lisa, is this also a SMMC support group?

Yes. It is listed on their website along with the Thursday one at the hospital. If you go to the website, it tells the date, time, location, and topic.

That is sure a better day for me than the 4th Thursday - I have a standing meeting on that night and do not want to give up my quilting guild! I'll look into the Northland group - may see you there next Wednesday. Thanks!

I'm going to stick with the group at Shawnee Mission, I don't venture up North much.

Anyone going to group on 9-25?

I can't go this month. I volunteered to provide refreshments for my quilt guild this month. I will plan for either the SM group or the northland group in October. I really don't want to give up my 4th Thurs - have been in this quilt guild for about 10 years! Have fun and learn a lot!

Hey, I am going to be there tomorrow. I have been super busy with the wedding. I just got done with my final dress fitting and have it at my aunts house just waiting for the day of the wedding. It is getting down to the wire and if anyone attending from group needs directions let me know. We got the license and have met with the Rev. and photographer. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow.

Jeanette

Sorry, I won't be there tonite either. Going out of town again for another long weekend, but hopefully, will be there next month.

Hi all,

My first group was last month and it was great! I think I remember seeing a few of you there :smile:

I have some questions for you all that have been through KC Bariatric. I have finally been to all appointments and have been approved by insurance. I meet with Dr. Hoen on 11/19 and get my surgery date then. When you all had your appointment with him and got your date...how far off from that appointment was your surgery date? Trying to get an idea since Thanksgiving and CHristmas is right after that.

Thanks!

Nancy

If I am remembering correctly, I think I had to wait about a month between my first consult and the surgery, give or take a week. During that time, I had to finish up the necessary appointments with Dr. Sabapathy. Congratulations to getting closer!

I was self pay and once I got the appt with Dr. Hoen, my surgery date was set for within a month. Of course that was in Feb 2007 and there are a few things that are different now because of the other dr. leaving. I think thou that they have gotten everyone scheduled as best as they can with the situation. I know that everyone says to just be patient but it is true that is all you can do. Your day is coming and we will all celebrate with you. See you at the next meeting.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my wedding was gorgeous and we had a beautiful day and had a great time. It was great to see you there Lisa. Thanks for everything. We are leaving the cabin in the moring and heading home. We will see you at the next meeting. Not sure if we will have any pics yet.

Jeanette and Jarod Muncy

I was scheduled for surgery within four weeks of receiving insurance approval. Looking forward to meeting you at the next support group meeting on Thursday!

Just wanted everyone to know that I plan on coming to the support group meeting tonite. I'm wearing my red shirt if anyone wants to look me up. I'm not sure that I know any of you except for Erika and I have seen Jeannette even though I haven't introduced myself. Maybe I'll get around to doing that tonite, lol.

Hi Teri,

Sorry we missed you! I was with Jeanette sitting up front next to Cindy. I did not get your post until returning home, so I did not know to look for you in your red shirt. Maybe we can meet next month...Take care, Lisa
