Leader: Genevieve Faehnle
Surgery Date: December
2006
Obstacles Overcome: Making the connection between the intellectual (I know I have lost
100 pounds) and the emotional (I still see the plus size person). They get closer every day with each step of the process.
Support Group Benefits: We're all in this together. It's a safe
environment to ask questions, talk about what scares you about having surgery and the problems you may have had. It's
a place to learn, share our successes and continue to more forward to a healthier life. It's not about losing the
weight-it's about changing your life.
Hobbies:
Travel, gardening, reading, cooking and volunteering
