Good Morning,

My name is Elaine and we have started a little support group on Long Island about a year ago. A bunch of us meet that are at different stages in our journey. It is very informal and nice to chat with others that are experiencing the same issues you may be during your journey.

If anyone else from the area will like to join us we will be meeting this Saturday June 3rd at Panera in Garden City 1140 Franklin Ave at 2:30. The group consist of both men and women.

Have a great weekend,

Elaine

August 5th is the best date for me. The coffee shop is fine!

Ok, then August 5th at Jacks coffee shop in Babylon @ 2/2:30 good? I will text the address again as we get closer.

Wow, Laney, almost 1 year already! That's awesome! All three dates work for me (including tomorrow)...early to mid afternoon?

Hi everyone,

Saturday, I come to The Coffee House until 3:30 then I will have to leave. My daughter and I received a graduation invite to my daughters friend thought it would be starting at 6, but she is having it first at the Restaurant then the kids are going back to her house. I apologize that I will not be with you that long, but look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

It was great seeing everyone on Saturday. I have to say everyone looks absolutely amazing!!!!!Congratulations, to all of you on how well you are doing. Lesile recommended to me to sign up into "Meetup group" to see if others want to get together and talk about there challenges and struggles with there Journey. Be nice to get a small social group together to support each other as we near our 1 yr anniversary of the surgery. The real challenge now starts. Have a wonderful summer and let's see if we can meet up again soon.

That would be great, Laney! We have all come so far, both physically and mentally! Everyone looked great! I just recently started with meet-ups...good idea. We can celebrate our successes as we gracefully slide into our second year.

Hi everyone, the summer went so fast and now here we are starting off the holiday season this Thursday with Thanksgiving. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. If you are interested in meeting again in the New Year let me know and we can see what we can set up.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm definitely interested in getting the group together again.
