Support Group?

I was wondering if there is a support group in NMA?

Hi Marshall, I don't know if there is one or not, but we could all start our own! Cathy in Fayetteville Banded on May 17, 2006 Dr. Arturo Rodriguez, Monterrey, MX

Cathy, I think they have one at washington hospital. I know there is a really good one in Fort Smith but they have taken the summer off, I think. We can start our own, but let's investigate first.

When & where does the support group meet in Fort Smith? I attended a support group there about 2 years ago, but changed my e-mail and lost touch with the members.

Hey Marshall, we can check on any support groups. I would love for you to meet my son, he is going to have the surgery real soon and looks to be about your age. He is 28 and is 6'4" and weighs over 400 pounds. We live here in Fayetteville. I'm having surgery in August, I think.

I am all about starting a support group. I am a little over three months post-op and have dropped a little over a hundred pounds. I have had an easy time with mine but have friends who have not. I know how much the support of others benefited me.

Hey everyone! I am the bariatric coordinator for Washington Regional Medical Center. I have run a weight loss support group for over a year that I would love any and all of you to attend. We meet the Second Wed of each month (which is today) at 5:30 at the Center for exercise in the lower level lobby. We discuss nutrition, weight loss issues and coping mechanisms. I do not limit it to weight loss surgery patients but do encourage our patients to attend. I would love to meet all of you. I will warn you that we will not be meeting in August (as I will be out on medical leave for surgery) but We will start again in Sept. I will post this as a separate posting too so maybe everyone will see. Thanks Dawna

There is a support group that meets @ ST. Mary's the Second Sunday of the month. I go to that one and its a great group of ladies. Sometimes there are men that go too. I'd invite you to come to that one. If you have any questions email me and I'll tell you more about it. Jan
