NC - Anson County

[KimGainey 18]

Hi, I'm Kim and would really like to get together with others on this journey with me. Hope some of you will too!

I am only 8 weeks post op but would love to assist someone in Anson County, NC. We don't have any WLS support in this county. Although I am a former teacher, I don't feel that I have enough experience to head this up but would really love to see it happen!

Hello-I'm new at this. From Caldwell county. Surgery set for April 21 st. Looking for some support.

Oh wow, not much longer now! Which procedure are you having? I would love for us to be support pals!

I had the bypass. That would be great to have some support. I find it difficult to figure out what pills to take and when to take them. And eating six times a day is also hard for me.

I remember being overwhelmed with the whole process too. Did your dr/nutritionist give you any info on what to do and when? You should probably be on liquids still. There is a lot of info here and don't be discouraged! Kim

Yes it is very overwhelming. They gave me info. I'm still on the liquids. When did your swelling start going down?

Hi, I'm Kim Gainey and I would love to start a Bariatric Pal support group for Anson and surrounding counties. I would like to share your weight loss adventure with you!

I'm pretty new to NC, living in the Asheville area. I'm on the very first steps of this journey and need all the support I can get. Is there anyone else in the Buncombe Co area?

[KimGainey 18]

The Anson County Chapter of Bariatric Pal will be held in the newly opened CMC Anson hospital in the conference room. Time TBD. I will be in touch!
