 ok i would like to come what do we do there lol  and what time does it finish at thanxs for ur time

The meeting starts at roughly 5:30pm and goes until 8pm, at the latest.  It really depends on the people who show up and how much there is to discuss.  It's a very informal meeting where everyone shares updates on where they are in their journeys and exchanges information and advice.  At this point in time, we don't bring in special guests or have topics, but it is something that we are looking at in the future.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

Cheers!

hey i cant make it friday but will there be meetings in july and aug?

Meetings are scheduled for July and August, but it's the summer. Participation tends to dip and you may only get a handful of people who show up. Folks must be out and living their new and improved lives. Go figure!!

Nevertheless, meetings usually go ahead regardless of this.  If the meeting is cancelled or postponed, I will post a message on this forum.

Cheers!

Which bldg is the Community Services Building? Is it the same bldg that the WW clinic is in?
I think that this would be a really good group to go to.

Yes, the Community Services Building is the same one that the WW clinic is in.  Main floor, just down the few steps or down the wheelchair ramp into the Jean Hamilton room.  Some folks may have had their orientation session in that room.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers!

hello,
    Weight Loss Forever has a support group in Edmonton Just contact [email protected] and she will help you get to our support group meetings in Edmonton thanks hopefull01

Callie:

If you are in the greater Edmonton area, there is a peer support group with many post sleeve patients, including myself.  Admittedly, we don't have any regulars who have gone out of country for surgery, but everyone is welcome nonetheless.  Our next meeting is tonight and then monthly after that.  No cost involved other than for parking your jalopy at the hospital.

Cheers!
