Banded14yr 2 Posted October 18, 2004 Does anyone, or has anyone attended the Centennial Medical Center Support group that meets every 3rd Tuesday of the month? I'm going to attend tomorrow night and am excited about going. I would love to meet anyone from this board that attends. Tricia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penni60 45 Posted October 18, 2004 Tricia: I don't attend I live in Calif but I have a friend that just had the RNY procedure at Centennial and she might be attending those groups. Her name is Brenda Petrus. She works at the VA hospital as a Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse. She is a beautiful black lady with short hair. If you see her there then tell her Penni says HI. She would be a good person to get in contact with. She is such a sweetie. Just a suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banded14yr 2 Posted November 9, 2004 Hello Eva! I saw where Dr. Houston is going to perform your surgery. He did my last fill and I think he's wonderful The support group meetings are held every Tuesday at 6:00pm at Centennial. I will probably be going this evening. There's also a more comprehensive support group that meets every 3rd Monday (I believe) that I plan on going to this month. I'll check my info when I get home and let you know. The support meetings are for both pre and post op patients. I would love to meet you. I live in Antioch, but work in Nashville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Hope 37 Posted November 9, 2004 Tricia, is that in Tennessee? Hey, great job on the weight loss!! Eva, enjoyed meeting you in the Chat Room last night. Best of luck to you on your upcoming banding!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banded14yr 2 Posted November 9, 2004 Marie, Yes, it's in Tennessee..... Thanks! I'm thrilled about my weight loss. My second fill really helped, I was starting to get a little discouraged. I think every new bandster needs a class or seminar in "PATIENCE" I sure did! I guess I missed the chat - I'll try to participate in the next one if there is one scheduled.
