Spouse Support???

Does anyone know of any support groups for the spouses of people having WLS?  We live in Lisle, and my hubby would love to find a group where he could get some support.  And if you don't know of any groups, would your spouses be willing to start one?  I saw there was a forum on here, but noone has posted on it in over a year.

Thanks!!!

Lisa, talk to the Kane Center. Dr. Crane would be the one to talk to. He does all the support groups. 

Glad you had a good camping weekend. I think we all lucked out.

No where near the same thing but there is a Spouse support board on here.  He might find some support on there.  I don't know how active the board is...I never been on that board before.

Hi all--free wifi tonight. Our support group in Madison was open to spouses and so was the one we had in. Rockford. See if he can go to the one you go to.

Spain is hot and more mountainous than I knew. I fell getting off the escalator at the airport because one of our group took one of those big luggage carts on it and then couldn't get it off so I fell over the cart and smashed my nose! Lucky not to break anything but I'm sore and not enjoying the walking. Tomorrow we have a walking tour of this city. I may not go. We'll see in the am. Tonight we have dinner at 8. The usual dinner time here is 9:30. Oh well. That's the point of travel--new adventures!

take care, Connie

Oh Connie I hope u feel better soon! I hope u said something to that person!!! The one who took the cart on the Escalator! I hate when people do that! Carla

I know my hubby can come to the support groups they have at the Kane Center at no cost, there is only the $10 fee for the "patients".  Granted it is not JUST for Spouses, but he can sit in on and hear about other's views.

They have them on Saturdays in Hoffman Estates. They have pre op and post op ones. Here is the link to the support groups:
