Ooops, sorry I was wrong. Only Linda has not had surgery yet out of the three of us meeting on Friday.

Hi Molly,
As Marybeth stated above a few of us are getting together at Sbux at the MOA on Fri. AM. If anyone else would like to come feel free! We r meeting at 10:00. I had my surgery on Sept 9th at Mayo.... A new type of endoscopic procedure.
Two weeks out and I've lost 8 lbs! Couldn't be happier! :)

Hi all! I'm kinda new around here. I've been reading the forums for a while, but haven't really posted yet. Today I finally got my surgery date, on October 13! I will be getting it done by Dr. Baker at Unity Hospital in Fridley. Has anyone else gone there? So far, everyone there has been amazingly helpful! :)

I do too! I just met him today for the first time and he was awesome. He answered all of my questions extremely thoroughly and had a very pleasant demeanor. I'm glad I picked him! When are you getting yours done?

If anyone is interested, having an informal little get-together on Friday, 10:00 a.m., at the Starbucks in the Mall of America. I know a lot of people work that day, but just wanted to throw it out there.

Hey all, we are just growing by leaps and bounds here! That is fantastic. I'm sorry I missed last week. I think I rather like working at home but it is all too easy to get too involved and forget about life outside the four walls.

To those getting ready to go to Unity for your surgery - I had Dr. July and she was outstanding. All the folks at Baker and Associates AND Unity were excellent to work with for the entire experience. You are in very good hands. I'm looking forward to the next meet-up and looking forward to meeting everyone.

Chat with you all soon!

Oh, and the name is Tyra...Not pronounced like Tyra Banks but like Kyra what's her name...Sedgwick? Is that right? On the tv show, The Closer. Tear-uh...hhmmm, but truth be told, I answer to just about anything.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
