NWWLS has support group meetings on the 2nd Monday of each month at 10:00 am and the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00. The topic this month is self-esteem and self-image. I have not attended one at NWWLS as it is too far, but do attend other local groups. I would like to attend one at NWWLS some time but they do not allow anyone not banded there to attend (or so I heard from another bander), and I do not want to make the trip alone at night. It gets over at 8:30 which means I would not get home until 10:30 anyway, and I have to get up at 4:30 am for work. I hear the group is an excellent one, and do want to try to attend sometime.

I try to make the Monday night ones. Give a holler on here if you'll be going - we can hook up and say hi.

Did you go to the one last night?

I went to an amazing support group meeting here last month. The topic was all about food choices. They even brought in a bunch of examples of food choices for us to compare. The night went great and I left with tons of meal ideas! The support system they have set up really works for me.

Oh, man! I completely forgot about tonight's, and I don't think my husband could make it back in time to watch the kids and/or accompany me. Looks like I'll have to shoot for next month's. :wink2:

Insurance is going great so far. I finish my 90 day dietitan thing on Nov 3rd. I hope to have surgery on the 25th of Nov. However they won't make an appt until insurance gives them the approval. I have my fingers crossed that they still have an opening. Last week I heard he had 3 openings on the 25th & 3 openings on the 26th.

Are you going through insurance? Who do you have? I have Aetna through Comcast. Comcast with switching to a Blue Cross national plan in Jan. So I really would like to get this done before than. :biggrin: Even though it is also covered under Blue Cross.

I have BCBS (Anthem) I am hoping everything goes thru right away. I was told they are a preferred provider. What is a 90 day diet? Was that thru the doctor or your insurance?

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
