I live in Bellevue Nebraska. I am 33 yrs old. I had the open RNY on 7- 23-02..so I am a little over 2 months out, and have lost a little over 50 pounds. I am not really pleased with my actual support group here in the area. I started going there a few months before my surgery and was doing ok, I stopped smoking about 2 weeks before my surgery...but during the depression stage after the surgery, I started smoking again. I know that this poses a health risk, but at the time everything all at once was just to much for me. I pulled the lady aside at the end of one of the meetings, her being a nurse, i figured that I could ask her some questions about quitting when the time came for me to start trying that. The following month I could not remember what day the meeting was on so I called her. She flat <!--more--> out told me that she did not want me to be a member of the group because i was a smoker, and that did not set a good example for the others. She would not have even known that I was smoking again if I had not pulled her aside, and none of the other members knew that I smoked because I never done it around there. Needless to say this hurt my feelings really bad. So I just need someone to make it thru the rough times with, or share the "happy dance" times with. People who know what i am going through. I guess that I feel like they dont give this surgery to children, so its not like I am setting a bad example for a child or something. I know that there are several others in the group that smoke, cuz I always see them out there smoking as I walk in for the meetings, but I am not going to say anything to the lady because it would just cause the others to have the same hurt feelings as me. I have some pics I would like to post so everyone can put a face with a name....I hope to get to know some of you really well..:o) Misty (tomorrows_hope32) post-op 7-23-02 ADVERTISEMENT Hello everyone,
