Thursday March, 22nd @ 6pm. I was told by Billie that Dr Sabobathy is going to be there this month. I'm not sure yet if I can make it but I'm going to try.

I believe it's every 4th Thursday of the month at 6. That's why I always miss it - I get it in my head that it's the last Thursday.

I think I was at that meeting. Didn't we have a little Christmas party that day? I would have been sitting with Hollie.

As to where everyone is I don't know. A few months ago we were all posting nearly every day. Personally I hit a bit of a weightloss slump and think I sort of allowed that to cause me to withdraw a bit. Ofcourse that's probably when I needed to be connecting with others the most. My scale still isn't really moving so I'm trying to get myself reconnected to the group and shape up.

I'm planning on trying to make this months meeting. I'll most likely bring my 3 year old son with me this month.

Good Luck at your appointment today Chantay!! Sure hope you get an early surgery date!!

Diane....I could be wrong, but I thought the meeting this week was going to be in the same room that the seminars are held in? (Is this the room by the gift shop?) I'm not familiar with SMMC, and when I went to the seminar, I parked on the wrong side of the building and had to have someone walk me to the room.....that was a long walk!! Maybe if I park there again Thursday night, that will count towards my walking goals?? LOL

The room by the gift shop that we were using for meetings is not the one where the seminars are held but the group was getting so big Bobbie had said a few months ago she planned on moving it to the same room as the seminars so I bet you are right. Thanks for the heads up. I wouldn't mind using it for my own walking goals but I'm usually late as it is, and I'll most likely have my 3-year old son in tow this time.

;) OK make me look it up on the site will you? I probably should have checked there to begin with.

Yup, that is the the same room as the seminars. The parking lot (if still there with all the construction) is on the far east side of the building.

The other room was in the middle of the building so to speak. And with the construction going on I usually parked on the far west side and walked across to it. Would have been quite the hike all the way over to the seminar room.

And what happened to Sabobathy being there this month? Must have had that wrong as well.

Hey girls!! My appt went great my surgery date is 5 weeks away!! April 25th at 830am I cant wait!!! I had a nightmare last night that I showed up for my appt and I had went to the RR and came back peaked around the corner and saw Nola sitting at her desk talking to someone she looked at me and shook her head no...then she told me she would have to reschedule my appt...FOR NO REASON!! I was so upset and crying I told her I had to get off work for this appt...LOL oh the anxiety LOL I also drempt that there was like a clothes closet where people were getting to pick clothes for themselves from people who no longer needed that size..I guess that dream was due to the clothing exchange posted for the other RNY group before...but I could sure use some clothes if anyone has any HUGAMUNGO ones they dont need anymore...I will be happy to give up my old ones when I dont need them anymore...cant wait till that day!!! See you all tomorrow~Chantay

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
