Weekly support groups?

Hello all,

I am in Norman and hate driving up to Integris for support groups. I have only been to one. I wondered though, when I went to Weigh****chers last year, I loved having the meetings once a week. I wondered if there were any weekly WLS support groups anywhere around? I had even thought about starting one. I know that Dr. Keith has the monthly ones, but just wishing there were weekly ones.

I hope everyone is well. I am loving this gorgeous weather we have been having!!

Hi.
I don't know of any weekly support groups your way, but I think it would be great for you to start one! I would encourage you to consider becoming an Obesity Help Support Group Leader, by going through their training. It's easy, and you get great information, a free subscription to OH Magazine, as well as being able to advertise your meetings here on OH. If you're interested, you can email [email protected].
If you have any questions that I, as a support group leader, can answer, just PM me. :)
Blessings,
Mary

 I'm completely in support of a new one being started, while I love the WeightWise group, it is a hassle to get up there every week!

I know what you mean. It would be much more convenient for those of us in this area to have something a little closer and a little more often. I have better luck with meetings that are once a week.

I agree with you, I would love to have a weekly support group to go to.  Dr. G did my lapband and I work near Intergist Baptist. I will look forward  to any new weekly meetings. Thanks.   Karen

Owlo, has meetings at Moore twice a month for pre ops and some post ops attend to help the newbies.
Then we have two meeting monthly on Saturdays for post ops the next one is october 10 at 4pm at Jasons deli in Norman then there is a face to face one on the 17 at norman regional hospital.
Alot of post ops have asked me for more meetings but its hard to find a place to have them thats not at a hospital....
anyone is welcome to attend any of these meetings...they are open topic and some discussions are intense...

being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
