Hi guys!

I wanted to post to remind everyone that this is happening NEXT Sunday, November 23, at 1pm. lunch in the District!

Bring your lab-band friends along! Just let us know so we can call in the next week and let the restaurant know we're coming!

Hope everyone is doing great!

Felicia

Going to be banded by 1st week in Dec and looking for those in vegas area who have been banded for support as well as stories from those who used Dr Atkinson's office. Im 37, ready for the start of my new days ahead. Just curious, what do I need to look forward to in the surgery? Thanks!

Cassie - just ask for Mary's group. Reservation is under my name. We will be the friendly-looking group of women who are laughing and talking. We come in all sizes since we are all at different points on our journey.

Lovcinderella - Please join us on the 23rd! You will find us to be a GREAT support group. I am bringing a friend who is just now starting the journey. Many of us go to Dr. Atkinson. I promise, you will feel VERY comfortable!

Everyone - I am making the reservation this evening. If your plans change and you cannot make it, please let me know. If you are new and want to sign up - just give me a post here.

Hello,

My husband just mentioned that he would like to come with tomorrow so I'm hoping that it isn't too late to add a "+1".

Thanks!

Cassy,

Hi Everyone,

I guess I will close out this string; we had a wonderful group today and I think Felicia may try to put something together for December. So look for our new thread - on a December get together.

We had 3 new people today: Cassie and her husband, Steve, and Purple Sloane. As always we had a good time and shared our stories and our news.

I am so glad we put this group together and that it has been so helpful to so many of us!!

Remember, everyone is welcome to join us. Just respond to our open invites!

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!!!:laugh:

It was great once again to see all of you and meet new people!!!!:laugh:

Thanks everyone! Steve and I had a great time today and we will see you next month (or whenever the next one is...)

Felicia and PurpleSloan...I'll be in touch. Maybe we can find a fun activity to make a habit. I've always wanted to learn how to play golf... anyone else?

If not, we can stick to other normal things. I'm up for trying new things though so let me know if you think of anything.

YES!! I love golf! I have had lessons when I was a kid, and my first job was as a beer girl on the golf course at home. Hell, my older brother's initials were almost PGA! LOL (Dad was a huge golf fan, can you tell?)

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do that. I am not making any promises on how I play *now* but I would love to do it!

I had so much fun yesterday, and I am so glad I met you guys.

Here's the (cell phone) pic of the group yesterday:
