I think you answered your own problem... If a support group is important to you (I think they are) and you have to make the first move to get people to talk to you then - You have to make the first move. It's not easy sometimes. I know I usually don't have much to say unless I am asked or some topic comes up that is really important. Support is important and at some point you have to decide that you have to do what you have to do. I have a number of support groups that I frequent - they are all different. Try another one to see if they are more outgoing or a better match to your needs.

I wanted to share yesterday's Luncheon we all had up in Fredericksburg VA. A bunch of us from Va met at Cheeseburger In Paradise and had a great time . None of us had met before other than Lei and I . I also posted some more after pictures on my WLS journey . To view them just click on the link at the top of my profile . Picturetrail. I am telling you all to get out there and meet the people in your area that share the same stories and goals. I have met some of the best people right here on this board . Memories .. that is what it is all about .. and a big thanks goes out to LEILANI from VA beach for supplying the photos and the good times ! Enjoy .. Pix ..

Sorry you feel this way. I myself dont go to a support group but when I did I felt this way as well. I learned to get support in my own way. Keep close to those whom show me support and away from those whom have negative things to say. My best support in online I know. People here dont judge me. I am happy these days. I congrats you on your weightloss however. Happy you have little skin and lost the weight so sucessfully. NAT

Hey sweetie, I am not sure what it is. I know when I post on my surgeon board, I dont get any replies, or help so I stopped. I post mainly here with other May babies, or on the main message board. As for support meetings, It doesnt hurt to be the first one to talk, maybe some are uncomfortable talking but want to be there for the info. You are doing great, and have come so far. I am sure it has nothing to do with you. I wish I had a support group close to me, I am so far in the booneys that we dont. I get all my support from here at OH and my family, and my Dr's. Sorry I wasnt much help- Melissa
