NC - Charlotte

Hello, I'm Kimberly. My surgery is scheduled for April 21st and I'm committing myself to becoming very successful afterwards. I would love the opportunity to meet people willing to take this journey with me. I'm a healthcare professional and I work 1st shift. I'm available evenings and weekends.

    I volunteered to lead or co-lead. I'm going to start looking for locations. I should be cleared to drive tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions?

Gixxergirl,

My only immediate idea would be my husbands school. However, that is in Mooresville, which might not be the most convenenient location for everyone. But we would always have access to it. Another plug for the school is he has a gym, weight room, etc....so if we ever wanted to do some sort of exercise demo....we would have that space available.

Depending on the size of our group, I am also willing to offer up my house. I have a large open kitchen, might be a good spot if we ever want to do a cooking demo or sample favoritte food finds.

I actually work in Rock Hill so Mooresville would be entirely too far unless we met on Saturday. I live in Charlotte so Mooresville wouldn't be too bad on a day off.

The school is closer to Davidson, right off 77 at exit 31. But no pressure to use that location. I just wanted to put it out there as a place we have easy access anytime we want.

Hello all!!! I will be sleeved July 14th!!! I am having my surgery done through carolinas weight management and wellness center. I live about 20min south of Charlotte.

As far as meeting places maybe we could meet at Freedom Park. Lots to do there. We could do a "walking group" or something! Just a thought!

That's a great idea because I've left messages at a few places. One said they already had a support group but we could join them. If we met at a park, Saturday mornings would be best for me because I work in Rock Hill until 530pm most days.

I was looking for a place to hold it but I've been admitted to the hospital like 3 more times since April with this last time being in July. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I apologize for dropping the ball.

I pray you are feeling better. I am interested in a local support group. I live in Gastonia, and I will be having my surgery 9/12/14.
