[Sca-cooks] SCA Weight Loss Surgery Support group formed

[Jeff Gedney]

well, My recent posts concerning the Gastric Bypass surgery I underwent the other day has prompted a flood of responses, from people who have had, or are considering, a Weightloss surgery proceedure themselves.

I seem to have struck a chord here.

Since the SCA's fairly unique environment of camping, feasting and our many activites present a number of challenges to people who have undergone this proceedure, I thought it would be a service to have a support group where we can share problems and advice, and generally vent, if necessary. 
Since I could not find one that served the SCA, in particular, I thought I'd create one.

So I am announcing the formation of the SCA Weight Loss Surgery support group on Yahoo

To join, Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SCA_WLS_Support/
or send an email to

Please forward this announcement as you see fit.

There are SO damn many more things I want to try in the SCA 
than I can possibly have time for. It's killing me!!!

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur. 
  - Shakespeare - Henry V, Act III, Prologue

I am both anticipating and dreading the changes to my lifestyle, but I am definitely looking forward to getting back into fencing, and other activities, since I wont be dragging about 130 pounds of excess weight by next Pennsic. 
>(I should actually by down about sixty pounds by this Pennsic!)
