Default WLS Support Group - Thank You!

Hi,
I attended Dr. C's post-op support group tonight (held once per month on a Thursday evening), and just wanted to say thank you to all the post-op folks who attended and allowed me to ask questions, even though I am pre-op.

You were all so generous with your support and frankness, and I am humbled to have been allowed to hear your experiences.

I urge all pre-op folks to attend as many WLS support groups as you can. There is nothing like the voice of experience to learn from, and it is nice to see people face to face.

Thanks again!
