WeightWise Support Group Ideas??

Hey guys, I am the COO of WeightWise Bariatric Program up here in Edmond.  We've been discussing various support group ideas and would love to get some input from patients.

Are there any topics you like discussed or any activities you'd like to see happen?  We're really trying to think outside the box and are open to pretty much anything.  Feel free to post your ideas here or you can put them up on our Facebook page.

Looking forward to what everyone has to say!

I would like to see some guest speakers (nutritionists, exercise gurus, people who have maintained weight loss for a period of time, etc.) Sharing ideas about recipes, exercise, dealing with life stressors, etc. would be helpful. In fact, I think it would be fun to make at least one meeting a month something active with us all taking a twenty minute walk around the pond in the adjacent assisted living apartments. One meeting each month could be a recipe exchange.

Plastic surgeon info is always good.  Having patients that are a couple of years out come and share what its like down the road.   Maybe a session on exercise/sports ideas for how to get active.  I was never active and didn't really have a clue that running or biking was an option for me and if someone would have shown me early on that a big girl can do it, I might would have tried it sooner.

By the way, very cool that you are popping in here to find out from the OH peeps what would be of interest.
