First Support Meeting

AMayo1

346 views

So the first support group meeting. First I go to the wrong place. I thought it was the auditorium that they held the orientation in at Ellis Hospital. So I get there. There is a huge buffet. I thought how cruel, what a way to treat the bandsters. Then someone gives see my strange look at tells me it is a meeting for the doctor's of the hospital. I think I have the wrong night after racing over. I then get back to my car and look at the paper work. The date was right, the spot was right. OOPS what is the Ellis Health Center. I forgot they merged with St Clairs, it turns out that is where the meeting was. I get there 20 min late, but the moderator was over 45 min late. The first meeting went well a mix of newbies like me, a few long time band people. Will be going to the one in August.

I enjoy my support group meetings which I don't do much talking in them because usually I am the only band person. There is one lady that comes once in a while that has the band but she is nuts and admitted that she goes to thereapy and thinks everyone should do that because of the life change. I try and talk to her about the band but she is very unfriendly. The bypass people are much friendlier and really have lots of information and ideas that I can use. Their weight does come off faster but I still love my band. Yeah, my weight is coming off slower but it is coming off.

Your story was very funny........buffet at a support group meeting!!!
