Looking for folks to connect with from the northern suburbs, etc. I'm in Champlin but if we have enough folks maybe a rotation of locations to accommodate the variety of locations would be the way to go. I love a little coffee shop (can't drink it but love the aroma). Any thoughts?

Hope a lot of you can make it to the Saturday, December 20th breakfast meeting at the Perkins off of University Ave. in Fridley.

I was a little over-zealous in the number of cookbooks and guides I bought before surgery. I'd love to give them to anyone who wants them.

See you on the 20th!

Ho Ho Ho!

Hey Darci! Welcome to the 'losing team'. I sure hope you can join us on Dec 20th at the Perkins in Fridley.

I am one-month post-op this week. I have an appt. with my NUT and nurse on Friday for diet review and weigh-in. I don't feel any different but my pants are a little looser. That's a good sign.

Hope you can make it. You can find me on FB (Lori Feltl). It is easier up connect there - on the November Sleevers (private group page). I like it better bc the info

is better organized than this site. No offense b-pal.

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum; I've been doing my homework on this surgery and am about ready to send in my paperwork. I live in the Mounds View area and would love to meet some of you to hear about your successes!

There are a few of us that created a local meet -n- greet. Our next meeting is on Dec 20th at the Perkins in Fridley (University Ave).

I am 6-weeks post-op now. I don't feel any different internally but I have lost over 25lbs and 6 inches. My pants are looser and need to go down a size. That's a good sign.

Hope you can make it!

I'm so sorry that I can't make it on Saturday. I hope you guys all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's holiday!! I will definitely be at our next meeting in January once someone decides to set a date.

Ho, Ho, Ho,

Marybeth

Okay, I need a quick head count of who is planning to meet at Perkins in Fridley tomorrow (Saturday 1/20) at 10am?

Mary Beth and Linda aren't able to be there. This get together is open to ANYONE in the Twin Cities. How about the others? Jennifer, Fawn, Molly....

If I don't get any responses, I will assume we are all busy prepping for Christmas festivities.

Let me know....

Lori

I was planning on attending.

I shall be there in all my funness...

Sorry, my hubby will be out of town... Still determined to make it one of these times though.

ummm, wait, what does hubby have to do with it? Have kids? I am ok with them...anyone else object?

or is it you need a ride? maybe one of us is near you... Just saying...

I won't be attending tomorrow after all. I hurt my back today and I am on muscle relaxers - which helps but they make me so loopy. No driving for me.

Let's plan to meet next time on Saturday, January 10th at 10am at the Golden Valley Perkins.

- Lori

So is it just down to Fawn and I today? I'm deciding whether or not to go now.

I am in the same boat... Al though I would love to just see you too.

Let's call it off today. Not that I wouldn't want to see just you too, but I've got a busy day planned as I'm sure you do too.

Jennifer

ummm, wait, what does hubby have to do with it? Have kids? I am ok with them...anyone else object?

Sorry, yes, we have two kids. My 7 yr old would have been fine but my 3 yr old has the risk of being a disaster.
