Downstate or Central Illinois sleevers?

[MeMeMEEE 206]

Anyone? I have been told only one sleever goes to my local support group so hoping to find some of you nearby? I am in Central IL Springfield/Decatur area.

I am from Springfield, IL and just started the process. I've had my medical evaluation, psych visit, labs, MSWL visit #1, 1st nutritionist meeting was today. I went to the local support group this week and one person I spoke with who was post op 1 year was a sleever. She was very nice. It was a supermarket scavenger hunt so I didn't get to met everyone since they split us into groups of three. The other person in my group was preop and started her process in Dec of 2011. So glad I found this group!
