Are there any support groups in YYC?

Hi!

I am looking for a support group in Calgary. If there isn't one, are there enough of us to start one?

Thanks!

I don't know of an existing one but I'd be interested if we had enough people. I'm in the Edmonton group on Facebook and I've seen mention of people posting to the Calgary group, but as yet I haven't found it. The Edmonton people seem to meet up semi regularly and I can imagine the support is worth any effort put in, this journey can feel a little lonely at times and to discuss it with people going through the same thing.... well I can only imagine it would be a good thing.

I was only thinking this weekend that we need a Calgary specific group and was mulling over whether it would be worth starting one, great minds think alike and all that.

Maybe we should start one?! Lol it might be a group of two to being with. But I bet it would grow pretty quickly!

I think we should definitely do that if there isn't one already. We should hold fire for a short while in case there is a running group but if we hear nothing in a few days (as this board doesn't get many views) we should go ahead!

The Bariatric Sisterhood, a secret group on FB for women only, has a group with meetings in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. You can look for me, Tempestt Smith and I can add you, if you give me some info about your journey. They do vet members, so you'll get a message, possibly in your "other" folder, asking you questions from the admin. 

Hello. I'm new today.

I'm in Airdrie and accepted into the Calgary Clinic. I would be interested in the Calgary forum too.
