I've been to the support group at Good Sam as a pre-op obligation through my doctor (Dr. Rivera). Those are actually his support groups. A nutritionist ran the group and there was a woman there who had the sleeve and many other pre-op patients also. It did help me know what to expect going into this. The nutritionist was prepared with a recipe and some other helpful guidelines to stay successful on this journey. I may start going to those, I'm not sure yet.

Thanks for the info. I called the other day and spoke with the nutritionist about it. She said it is mainly Dr. Rivera's pre-op patients, but she said she hates to turn people away. Which was very nice, but I would just feel like I was imposing. And she brought up a good point, Dr. Rivera's nutritional requirements are different than my doctor's.

So I guess my best bet would be to go to the support group my doctor runs at Chilton. Unfortunately, the February one was last Thursday and the March one is the same night as a work function. My timing is impeccable. :angry:

If anyone ever wants to get together for coffee (or Protein shakes :P ), let me know. :rolleyes:

Sorry to be out of touch so long. What if we all met at the new city Starbucks on Main Street?

Great! Let me know which days are good for you both. Any day besides Thursday is fine for me. :)
