Location for Support Group Meetings!

6 July, 2010 (22:48) | Life, support, weight loss | By: Lisa

I know I haven’t been posting regularly.  My Grandmother recently passed away and I had to take an emergency trip down to Florida for a couple weeks and I am just keeping back into some sort of a routine.  I am taking three classes over the summer session and it is A LOT of work!  [...]

I want to take the opportunity here to rant about some trends I am noticing with individuals and their expectations of post-weight loss surgery life.  I may offend some people but they can just suck it up and get over themselves.  Weight loss surgery is not magic.  It will not magically fix all the things [...]
