Local ObesityHelp Support Groups

DID YOU KNOW THAT OBESITYHELP.COM HAS LOCAL CHAPTERS IN YOUR AREA THAT ARE SPONSORED AND LED BY OBESITYHELP.COM MEMBERS???? THESE GROUPS ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY SURGEON SO EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO THESE GENERAL SUPPORT GROUPS!!!! http://www.obesityhelpchapters.com/SupportGpList.php Click link above to find out if there is a local ObesityHelp chapter in your area. If you go to a general support group (doesn't have to be obesityhelp sponsored) that is for all patients that is not listed on the above link, please e-mail [email protected] or [email protected]. They can add it. These groups are for ALL patients - preop and post-op - no matter who your surgeon was or will be!! You can even start your own support group in your area. That's what I did. My WLS was in March of this year and in May I got info through ObesityHelp.com on how to start a group, and went through their leadership training. Then in June of this year (just 3 months out of surgery) I started my own support group that all ObesityHelp members and WLS patients are welcome to attend!! If you feel a need to start a support group of your own in your area, like to lead, love to reach out to others and are also a good listener (not a know it all), contact [email protected] to find out how to become a leader! You can also go to this site for more info: http://www.obesityhelpchapters.com/WhatIsChapter.htm Face-to-face support groups are SOOOO important in our WLS journey!!! Online support is great, but face-to-face rocks in my opinion!!! Trisha in Arizona
