just seeing if anyones close in location or date!

I am in Ohio, but on the 6 mo diet and exercise for insurance co. Hopefully I will get surgery in June. Good Luck!

I'm in Cleveland

I'm in Cincy and seeing the same surgeon! I won't be getting sleeved till June/July though, thanks to a 6 month diet requirement.

oh realllllly? I assume you just started.this process and are going thru the 6 month medical diet. I just completes mine. ... started way way way back in may but man does time fly.

Yup! I started it a year ago, decided I was being too drastic and could do it on my own. Um yeah.....that didn't exactly work out lol So now I'm in it for the long haul! I've actually got my labs and gall bladder US in a few hours. I figure the 6 months will give me enough time to work on my food issues and get an exercise program going.

I'm happy for you! I really like northups office. Ive met another lady that's going thru him that had surgery on the 23rd. otherwise I've met a couple ladies that are going to In the next couple months. I hope to MAYBE get a group of us to become exercise buddies post opt since we get a free membership to the health plex. I have a looooong road ahead of me and alllllllot of weight to lose. what area do you live in

Ideally I have 100 pounds to lose so I hear ya. I would LOVE some exercise buddies! I like going to the gym alone but with friends would be even better. I wish I could start my healthplex membership now, if only for the swimming lessons. I hope to become a jogger again. I live in the Hyde Park/Oakley area so everyone is always running or cycling in my neighborhood.

I haven't met anyone else yet. I'm going to a support group next month and hope to meet some folks there.

if you want the lady I met on here... which lives in dayton... started a facebook support group. I have added 3 ladies that all are in Cincinnati and go to Northup... a lot of the other ladies live in Ohio also. its a small group of about 40 women or so.. if u want add me on facebook ide like to kit. look me up under cutiebootay_513@yahoo.com. its private group so if your secretive noones sees it. I live out in forest park really close to the hospital. I'm hopeing to loose around 150 ideally. I'm 5-7 and 350... so I gotta looooong road ahead of Me but I'm ready fore it

oh and I've been to 1 support group... it was great but you really only can talk to people that are on Ur left or right. but it is always nice Bering with people who are like you

I'm 5'9" and 275ish....but for some reason I'm feeling like it's gonna take a long time to lose. Hopefully I'm just being a pessimist.

Cool - sent you a request!
