Thinking about starting a support group in St. Cloud

Just curious who would be interested in a support group in St. Cloud or Becker area????

I plan to call Dr. Bakers office to see if I can get there support on this first, if not I'm thinking of doing it on my own.....I've had a few people ask me to start one up, to share recipes, cooking classes, experiences, support, etc....

You can respond here or by PM.....Just curious how many are interested....You DON'T need to be a UNITY patient.....I know of 5 people already that are interested and are from this area.....

If only I lived closer! 

PICK ME!

There is one started 1-2 times per month at the st cloud hospital spruce room. its a huge group. Not sure if that's what your looking for? if you make another group let me know so I can't check it out sometime. Good luck

Do you have a day or time in mind?  U know I am pretty close, but I work in the City and don't get back to BL until 6:30 or 7 but I might be interested.  let me know.  thanks Kelly.

They don't have any DS'ers in St. Cloud...That's the only thing that makes me hesitate to go to any in the area. As of right now, I plan on going to the one in Bloomington that Tammy runs because it's a DS one.

Hi Kelly....guess it would depend on the day, place and time....keep us posted.

Well here's the scoop, Amy from Unity said they no longer will have WLS peep's running the support groups......So I'm on my own.....She said she could email me info to share if I decided to start my own support group....

I plan to go ahead with my plans and have a fun, supportive and hopefully informative support group meeting once a month....I'm hoping to do it at Caribou coffee in St. Cloud outside of Crossroads Mall, they have a meeting room inside there where you can close the door for privacy....I'm also thinking about once in awhile having something at my house, a protein shake taste testing and maybe even cook a meal together and plan fun outings with exercise involved....I'm thinking in the evening around 6:30 or so.....

I will post all info once I have more definite times and dates.......I look forward to seeing peep's I know and meeting new ones.....Support makes all the difference in our journey's....

I'm by no means perfect, I struggle too.....And I'm not a health professional or have any training....I'm just a WLS peep wanting to give support and help in any way I can, and I also need support too......

Thanks for all the responses and PM's......I look forward to seeing you all very soon....
