Hey everyone,

I am putting this out there to get some information on what those of you from Chilliwack (or the near vicinity) think about having a once a month get together? Let me know if you are interested and based on responses we'll see if we can get something organized.

I know that they have a get together in Vancouver at the Lions Gate which I think is an awesome idea - but personally, I can never get up the umph to drive all the way into the city after a long days work. So perhaps something a bit more local is in order?

Cheers,

Angela :eek:

Hi Ang

It's tough to get these things up and running....believe me, I know !!!

You may have better luck trying to organize a coffee date ot maybe setting up someplace to get out for a walk as a group rather than an evening meeting. When the meetings work, they are really great to get a face to face with each other and offer support, but people seem to find evenings tough.

And I know all about the drive... I live in Pemberton, so I drive almost 3 hours to go to the meeting in North Van every month....and then 3 hours home afterwards. Usually I don't pull in the yard til well after 11pm, but it's worth it to me to sit and talk to the new friends I've made :laugh:

All the best, and if you have any questions about setting up a meeting that I can help with, let me know !!!

Hey Patricia,

Thanks so much for your response. I know there are a few people within the area who are researching lapband or already have it. You're right evening meetings can be difficult, but I don't know which would be worse - evening or weekend... during the day is just not an option for me, so I guess time will tell.

Cheers,

Angela

Just giving this a bump in case there is any new interest.
