Madison, Angie and I all live in Pleasant Hill and Kathy lives in Blue Springs. Sorry that I did not get an email out to everyone this week, we have been working like crazy to get our house ready to list for sale. Almost ready, so am email should be out to everyone very soon!

You are one tough lady!! I so enjoyed the meeting today, so good to see and meet everyone. We will be shooting for the 3rd Saturday in October to meet again. Not sure about the rest of you, but I thought it was extremely noisy today. Wondering if we should try to find another meeting spot. Let me know what you all think!

So glad you can all be there! Madee and I will be there about 9:30. can't wait to see you all!

Hope to see several of you at the meeting this coming Saturday at the Bean Counter cafe in the Lead Bank about 9:30 AM!! Let me know if you think you can be there.

I think if we meet about 9:30 AM on the 3rd Saturday that we can possibly sit outside until the room gets cleared. It takes a few minutes to order and get your drink, so by the time we get a drink, the big room meeting should be about ready to be done. Please invite any other local sleevers or those thinking about having the surgery. If you have a favorite snack or recipe please being it to share. See all of you soon!

We meet right outside of Blue Springs at the Lead Bank, they have a coffee shop in the basement, The Bean Counter. They have coffee, Protein drinks and other goodies.

I realized that we have a conflict with the 4th Saturday and another meeting. I was wondering if moving the meeting in September to the third Sat, at about 10:30 AM would be better for everyone. They have a group that meets in the large room from 9- about 10:30. We could do earlier and maybe we could sit outside if the weather is good. It is just pretty tight in the small room for all of us to be at one small table. Let me know what you think!

Just wanted to let you ladies that were at our last meeting know that my daughter, Madison, was sleeved on Wed. 8/14 by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Mexico. Surgery went perfectly and we flew home today. She is so excited to be on the loser's bench!!

You won't be sorry that you chose to go to him. He is wonderful, as is Dr. Gabe and his other staff.

I had surgery last August with Dr. A. and just returned home today from taking my daughter to Dr. Alvarez for sleeve surgery. :-)He is truly the kindest Dr. That I have ever met. He did so good with my daughter, she had never had a surgery in her life. He took the time to talk with her about everything that he would do before the surgery and what she could expect after. She told me that she really expected it to be much more painful than it was. I recommend him so often because he is really there for his patients, long after the operation is over.

Thank you to all of you that came out today for the meeting! It was great to get together with everyone and talk about our journeys. We missed you bikerchick (Dove) and hope to see you next time. We will meet again the 4th Sat. In September at the Bean Counter Cafe in the Lead Bank at 9 AM.

Meeting tomorrow morning at 9 am..... Just a reminder! Lead Bank in the back has a the Bean Counter Cafe. They have coffee and hot or cold protein drinks too. Come on out and meet other local sleevers !!

I was there last August and the ice and water are both purified. You have no need to worry about that. I will be there in August again, taking my daughter to have surgery with Dr. Alvarez. He is simply the best.

We are meeting this Saturday morning at the Lead Bank. It is on 7 Highway near Colburn Road Just outside of Blue Springs. Bean Counter Cafe, entrance is on the back side of bank. 9-9:30 AM. Please post here if you can make it. I think we have some brand new sleeves and maybe a couple of pre sleeve surgery people! Bring something to share as far as a food you like, a recipe or a great protein idea. See you on Saturday!

That is great! I look forward to meeting you!

I had am email from Lisa last week about having a meeting, she said she was busy going back and forth to Omaha to check on her Mother. I can set up a meeting if we want to have one in July, at The Bean Counter Cafe again. How about we shoot for the third Saturday in July. Would that work for any of you? I have a friend that has surgery tomorrow and my daughter is having it within the next few months, so hopefully they can come too.

My nephew used this Dr. For the Lap Band and has not had very much success to lose his weight. His sister used him for the VSG and is doing very well. They both seem to like him. Not sure of his skills though since I do not know him and did not use him as my surgeon.
