New support group-need suggestions
We are starting a new WLS support group meeting in our area (northern MN). I am looking for unique names for this group. It will be for gastric bypass, lap banders, family and friends. Also if you know of any good topics or activities that people have enjoyed. I see you guys always post about Saturday am coffee, is this your support groups or just a bunch of friends getting together on Saturday am???
With a postive outlook, everyday is bright!!!
The support groups in the Twin Cities are run by the hospitals/bariatric programs, with the exception of one DS support group that I am aware of. The weekend coffee groups celebrate the common thread of obesity and WLS - both for pre & post ops and their support people. This does not replace the support groups. I think when your group meets for the first time, you should all collectively work on a name for the group as that will provide everyone attending with a sense of ownership. If you are going to run it as an actual support group vs. more of a social gathering, you may want to set guidelines that are always adhered to (i.e. what is said at support meetings, stay there; etc.). Good luck!
