Centennial Medical Center Support Group

[Banded14yr 2]

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: 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.

Hey Penni,

I'll try to catch up with her at the next meeting. I didn't read this post in time for the last meeting.

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.

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!!

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.
