jcostag 4 Posted January 1, 2015 @@Penny C. - I'm doing great! Almost a month out and am down 20lbs. I think the biggest difference is how I feel...I feel lighter...easier to walk and move. I'm so glad i did it! Let me know if you need anything or have questions. I'd gladly help and would love someone here in Monroe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chele H 427 Posted January 1, 2015 I found an online Facebook group through this site that has been amazing! I also saw that there is a group at Raritan Bay Old Bridge on the 3rd Thurs of each month, but have not gone yet. Thanks for the info. I am very close to Somerset Medical Center but I have told no one except family about my surgery and I didn't want to run into anyone I knew so I have never gone. My little town is like living in a fish bowl, everyone knows everyone's business and love to gossip. Raritan Bay is close enough but yet far enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
