MN - Minneapolis/St.Paul

[checkmeowt 27]

HI, everyone!

I was sleeved on June 9th and am wondering if we can organize a meet-up before summer slips by. I'd love to meet some others who are farther down this path than I am. I'm just south of the Twin Cities, but am willing to drive anywhere. Weddings the first two weekends in August, but that's the only thing on the calendar for summer. If you're willing to head over towards Woodbury, I'd be glad to organize it. Just let me know if anyone's interested.

Hi Engteacher, I'm also on the east side of the metro. I'm having RNY on July 15.

There about 5 of us who have been getting together I was sleeved in Oct looking forward to meeting up with new people I live in Ham Lake the weekend of July 26 and August 15 and 16 I am busy but any other time is great

I would love to get together. I live up in New Hope now. Easier for me to get places when my schedule is open.

Krtebie - I live in New Hope. Let's schedule coffee after August. I am out of town the next two weekends.

I live in Otsego up by Rogers, would love to meet up also. I just had vertical sleeve done last Tuesday the 21st.

Go4itLori- sounds like a good idea. Do you belong to a gym? If so which one?

[Go4itLori 47]

I belong to a yoga studio on Maple Grove and a Pure Barre studio in Edina. Gyms are not my thing.

Did I see that someone here was sleeved at the U of M?

Hi all.

I am Pam and I live in St. Paul and work at the U. I am 3-6 months from my surgery. I had my first appointment last Friday at Fairview Southdale. I am hoping for late October or early November for my surgery. I am still trying to decide sleeve or RNY, but I have some time yet on that. I am fortunate not to have an insurance requirement for time, just whatever my clinic has.

Do you have any get togethers coming up? I would love to meet and talk to others who have had/are having surgery.

best,

pam

@dhutch I had my surgery at Southdale in November. I have had an amazing experience. Not that you shouldn't check other places, but...

We have support group tonight if you would like to come ask questions. We have a great group who tell it like it is. no sugar coating, no crap, but they are super supportive. The meeting starts at 6:30. I'll be there and would love to meet you. I'll be the loud one with short dark hair dressed in all black-ish. That'll make sense if you come to the meeting tonight.

The Southdale group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. I also go to the one at Fairview Riverside for the U of M. They have accepted me freely eventhough I am from Southdale! They meet the first WEdnesday of the month. I'd love to see you at either or both.
