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?

I think the next meet up is tentatively set for Sept 20th, 1pm at the Fridley La Casitas.

Hi I am from ham lake mn hope to have surgery in oct or nov I can't find the thread for mn eather if anyone knows how to get to it please let me know. There doesn't seem to be many from mn on this site

If you do a search for "MN - Minneapolis" it should be the very first thread.

Lindalue - this is the thread.

I'm pretty flexible too. Olive Garden sounds good. Wednesday lunch or dinner? I work Th, F, Sa nights 7p-7am, but Tues night or Thurs lunch would work too.

The only time I am not available is Sundays and Monday otherwise during day or evening I am open would love to get together please keep me posted thanks

Lindalue - this is the thread.

I will be there on the 20th for sure

I won't be able to make the 20th now. I get to watch my niece in southern mn for the weekend. I wish I could be in 2 places at once...

Well I made it through and am finally on the other side of surgery. It's been a week and a day and I'm feeling pretty good , just sore, as if I had done 3000 sit ups. Did any one else feel this way? Just want to make sure this is something normal. I cannot say enough good things about having it done in Tijuana. Amazing doctor, nurses, and other staff. Utmost in quality of care and level of medical facilities. Nothing fancy like you'd find at a hospital like Woowinds, but a nice and well run place nonetheless. I would recommend it to anyone who cannot get insurance coverage or who wants to get it done without the six months process of pre op appointments. With airfare, the entire cost was under $5000. Since pre op diet began through today, I've lost 16 pounds, which is very encouraging. Looking forward to seeing everyone later this month. Did we choose a Saturday? I can't remember.

Yay! I'm glad everything is going well! Yes my abs felt like I overdid sit-ups for a while. Once I started doing sit-ups it realized how much cutting through the stomach muscles weakens them! It was hard work trying to get those muscles back...

Hello All.

Is everyone still "in" for this Saturday, September 20? Do want to meet around 11am in Fridley (which as we mapped out, is the most central location for both twin cities members and more out-of-metro-area members.

Perkins maybe? Or do you want to do Mexican for lunch at La Casitas?

I would like a count so that I can make a reservation to ensure table space.

Thanks,

Marybeth

Yes I am in just tell me where and the name of the reservation it will be under

Sorry, I can't make it on Saturday. I'm determined to make it one of these times...

Would people like to do a breakfast/morning or lunch/afternoon. We could do a Perkins at 10am or La Casitas at 1pm. Any preference????
