Kent support group???
I am from Kent! The BEST support group for her is the Summa LIFE WLS Support Group. It meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at Summa Akron City's 55 Arch Street professional building in the basement meeting space. It is a fun and informative group with about 50-70 people attending a meeting.
Here are the upcoming meeting topics:
May 26, 2010
Speaker: Panel of Dr(s), Case Manager, Nurse, Dietitian
This will be an open panel discussion with the group. Questions will be taken from the floor, as well as collected prior to the evening. In addition, recipes for dishes that will be brought to the picnic (6/12) should be submitted on this evening...Our dietitian will be reviewing them for appropriateness and we will be compiling them to distribute all recipes at that June meeting.
June 12, 2010
Bariatric Picnic/Bicycle Club ride - A day of fun…details to follow.
June 23, 2010 Speaker: TBD - This month was to have been a discussion of triggers that cause us to eat, to relapse and the like. We also would address the unique situations encountered in the summer: grad parties, showers, weddings, picnics, fairs, amusement parks, vacations….and what to do about it.
Also, have her check out our WLS bicycle club at www.spinoffcyclists.com. She will meet a lot of local people in the club.
