Support Group In Tijuana!!
Last month I posted saying I was going to do a support group in Tijuana. Well it's beggining to form now. Our first support group will be on January 8th, 2005. I can't do it before cause of the holidays and many people go out for the holidays, so we will start next year, to start of the year the right way with positive thinking. I am so happy, my doctor thought it was a great idea and told my mom I was a smart girl for doing this in Tijuana. He said he always wanted to do something like this but never had the time or support from others to start off, so here I am starting this group in Tj. Everyone is welcome from this forum too, we all need advise from people post-op. I already have many notes, questions, special guest, ideas, and you know mostly all my ideas are from this forum, you people rock, you have helped me alot. This first meeting we'll have is to tell everyone what we want to do, how we are going to help everyone by attending this support group. Many mexican people need this help, they want to have the surgery done but have no clue on the consequences or good stuff about this... this is why I want to create this group to motivate and have everyone well inform about the gastric bypass procedure and what happens afterwards. I am so so excited, I just want to help others and get to know more people like me.
My mom had her surgery last Tuesday she is doing so well. She is my main support, she is going to help me out alot by letting me use her daycare in Tj for our support group.
If any one is interested in helping or wants to attend to our 1st support group let me know please. I will like to take with me people from this forum. You may tell your experience, before and after, to other people. If you dont speak spanish, but still want to go and show your support you are more than welcome to attend!
I also want to share with you that TV AZTECA a spanish channel is going to interview me tomorrow at my house. They interviewed my doctor and they saw a flier I made and placed in his office for the support group. The doctor gave her my name & # and also my moms. They want to see pictures of me before & they want me to tell them more about the support group. I am so excited, it's just too many things at once, but I am very happy to help others that have no clue about the gastric bypass.
