Bev,

I just found out that Wesley Hospital is launching it's post op support group on the 24th of this month at 6pm. This will be there first meeting and is open to any post WLS person. As far as I know, there is no charge. I plan on attending. If you want more information, you can email Amanda Sill, the Bariatric Coordinator for Wesley, at [email protected]. 

Thank you this is a great start.  Is there a contact person for this group?  I guess the next on would be in Dec.? 

Thanks for the information.

I was browsing and found your message among others regarding a support group in Wichita. I am a Nurse Practitioner and we have a monthly support group held at the Genesis Health Club, 854 N. Socora on the first Thursday night of the month at 7 PM. This group is open to anyone who is interested in weight loss surgery or has had any weight loss procedure. There is no charge for the support group.

 Hi Bev!

I am interested in getting together with some WLS sisters! (and brothers).... I live in Mulvane, but I am all over Wichita so locations really isn't an issue. I work with 2 other WLS people, and 2 other ladies that work for me are pre-op.

My local surgeons office said they were going to start an "open group", however they have had some staffing changes, so I am not sure if / when that will happen.

Send me a PM and we can get together!!

Hi Sheilah,
I will also be at that support group meeting.  I'm looking forward to meeting you.  I am the patient advocate at Weight Loss Surgical Center.  If you have any questions or comments, please contact me, I will be happy to help in any way I can.

See you soon!
Terri
