DECH Support Group
HI everyone..here is a letter I received from Denise Columbe (I hope I spelled her name right) She used to run the Bariatric Support Group at the DECH here in Fredericton. I had not gone actually because I was still waiting and they, I thought at the time, had all had surgery. Well they are starting up again. I do not know any of the people involved so I am not endorsing this group. I found the group that met in Fredericton from this board a wonderful group of people and a fountain of infomation. But the more the Merrier as the saying goes :)
..Here is the email and contact information if anyone is interested:
"Hello ladies,
Well it has been a long time since I have held a support group meeting and I am starting it up again. I need to do this as, if any of you are like me, I ahve gained 20 pounds back and would liek to discuss these issues with others.
By starting up the support group again, I am looking at having focues topic meetings meaning, having a topic at each meeting that you would know ahead of time so that you could come prepared if you would like to discuss.
So, I guess this email is to find out if you are interested in partaking in teh support group again and if so, which night of the week would be most convenient for you and the time. Meetinsg would be either 1.5 hours long or 2 hours long. Please indicate your choice.
Thank you and hping to have you join again.
Denise"

This sounds great! Seems like the lady is struggling...so could really benefit from getting together. But why two groups? Why not just let her know we have been meeting for about 6 months and she is well welcome to join us. And we are having nightly topics as well. Last one was great on the Wii and also on Vitamins.
This should help her get back on track.
Anyone been in touch to let her know there is a great group all organised by Charlene up and running? Maybe she is organising one because she is not aware there is one already?
Thx,
