There are many sleevers who are part of our North group and they may respond to your request later today. There are also support groups at Swedish and Skyridge but if you have Kaiser I'm not sure any of the docs are part of these support groups?

Hi there,

Regarding the meetings (Winning By Losing), yes, we are definitely planning on follow up B.P. support meetings. In the process of (hopefully) finalizing the date & location of our next meeting in mid July. I will post that info once it's all confirmed.

As for support meetings with Kaiser, I would reach out to your Kaiser Dr. I'm sure they have meetings in South Denver. The one some of us attend is probably a little too far for you to drive to (although you are more than welcome to join us).

Davop56 - Trust me, we've all had concerns in one way or another. My original concern was that the sleeve was so permanent, in comparison to the band. As it turned out, for me, I do wish I had started with the sleeve in the first place. I'm so much happier with it. Granted, whichever surgery you wind up with, you are in control! It's up to you to make healthier choices & eat better. The WLS is a tool that should help you control your appetite. It's a personal choice but SO worth it.

To ALL: Feel free to join us on my FB Mission Slimpossible web site. It's a private / closed group so none of your FB friends / family will be able to see what you post/read from that page. I've found the easiest way to join is to friend me on FB. Fran Catalan Porter. Mind you, you will see everything I post on my personal page (Don't use that against me, LOL), but I will immediately add you to the Mission Slimpossible page. That is where I (and others) will post in comment. I will not intrude on anyone's personal FB page.

Have a great Saturday!

It's official! I'm excited to announce that our next North Denver Bariatric Meetings are scheduled. We couldn't do it on Wednesday's as they were already booked, so hopefully people can still make it. If the 2nd Monday of every month winds up working for everyone, we'll try to keep it constant.

Monday, July 14th

Monday, August 11th

Start time is 6pm:

Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library & Broomfield Auditorium
3 Community Park Road
Broomfield, CO 80020
720-887-2356

I will send reminders again as the meeting date gets closer. I'd like to get an idea of our final head count so I can prepare accordingly. Thanks Kim Tocci for helping make the reservations!

Dessies Grandma - sent you info via private message

I live in Westminster Colorado. I will be having my Roux-en-Y surgery July 8 Tuesday at St. Joseph's Hospital. I would love to have a support group in the north area. If you could let me know. Also I'm very interested in Facebook private please give me details.

[mamie60 104]

<p>If anyone is interested, I just created a private support group called Mission Slimpossible on Facebook. I made it private because not every one has told their friends about their WLS, myself included. The purpose is simply to provide support to pre & post op WLS people, similar to this website, but on FB. </p> <p> </p> <p>Why not just use this website? You could. It's just that some of us are a little more obsessed with FB than we should be (I'm blushing), and access it a lot more than this site (I'm still blushing). No other reason than that really.</p> <p> </p> <p>It's not just for those of us in Denver, so please feel free to share it with others. I hope to also share recipes, something I seem to be a bit crazed about these days.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hope to see you there!!!</p>

I will try to come I will be 6 days post-op RNY. I feel like I could use some support but I'm so tired. But I will try.

[Domika03 309]

mamie60 - We hope to see you, but it's OK if you can't. I recall those tired days in the beginning. We'll meet again on August 11th, same time & same place. Also, there's the Kaiser meeting I PM'd you about as well.

Take care!

[Domika03 309]

Thanks to everyone that was able to attend last night's N Denver Support meeting. It was great meeting new people & seeing others again. We had 10 people attend! We had an awesome meeting with great participation!! Looking forward to the next one on Aug 11th. I'll post a reminder for that as the time approaches.

In the meantime, if you'd like to receive Calendar Event reminders via FB, please join our Mission Slimpossible online support team. Send me a friend request to Fran Catalan Porter, and I will add you to the private group (for your privacy, not visible to anyone else on FB).
