Well, I went to my first support group meeting last night and it was great. There is so much to learn about WLS and life after WLS. I wish I could attend all of the meetings, but Bay City is just too far. The peeps were great and I was glad to meet everyone. Who knows, maybe I'll try to attend once in a while.
This site is certainly beneficial to me. Thanks to everyone!

Jan,
It was nice meeting you and Shelly last night.
Always good to have new faces show up.
Diving in and informing yourself before surgery
will help you alot afterwards.

Thanks. You were the blonde lap bander right? It was a great meeting and
nice to meet others from this board. I have a lot to learn, but this forum really gives me insight and hope.

Jan, not sure if you know that Henry Ford has a support group that meets 2 times a month at the Center for Athletic medicine. I believe it is the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. It used to be that one meeting was the dietician and the other was the psychologist. Lots of very nice people in all stages of surgery.

I heard they had one, just never talked to anyone that went there. Have you gone? The meeting I went to last night was really great.

Yes, Jan, I have gone. it has been a couple of years though, but I have spoke to people who have gone recently, and they find them helpful. I think you will find them VERY helpful, and you do not have to drive so far. The Center for Athletic Medicine is very secure. You can even go early and get a day pass to work out.

It was so nice to have you at our meeting last night. They normally don't go that long, but we had a lot of material to cover! I hope you'll try to make it to future meetings once in a while.

It was the Bay City group meeting and held in Bay City. I went with a friend that
I'm trying to get help for and found it very very informative. Hopefully my friend,
Shelly, will continue to go to them. She lives in Midland and it's closer for her obviously.
