Looking for a Support Group

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca. I am 4 months post op with a total loss so far of 112 lbs. We just moved from the Washington, DC area last week and are living in Edmond. I am looking for a support group to go to. I've had a really rough summer with the move and the surgery and have been a bit down lately. If anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. Also, I'm really glad I found this site. Thanks, Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, there is a support group at Mercy Hospital on the 1st Thursday of each month, it starts at 5:30... and there is a support group called Living our Dream that meets at Norman Regional Hospital in the education center the 3rd Saturday of each month, it starts at 11:00 am... feel free to email me if you'd like more details...

Rebecca- we have a support group that meets in Edmond fourth Thursday each month in the evening, plus we meet 2nd Saturday monthly in OKC. We also have an online group that is on 24/7. Why don't you join us this Saturday night and get hooked up in person with our support group? We are having our annual fall party and would LOVE to have you and your guests there. IT IS FREE FOR YOU AND A GUEST. Below is a post I just sent out to our group this morning- it will give you the details of what to expect. We really would love to have you join us- either at the party or on line anytime. email me back and I will add you on line if you wish. Here is the post to the group today. OKC RNY New Beginnings at yahoo Some have posted to me and asked about the Gala attendance Saturday night. Right now - we are excepting 350! It is going to be SO AWESOME! Dr Monica Ganz from Obesity Help is coming to speak to us all, yet our focus is 3 hours just for YOU! We have so many door prizes, raffles, silent and live auction items plus TONS of freebies for everyone coming-it is going to be a blast. We have several vendors coming that have brought gifts and samples for all! We will do a group picture, plus Party Pics will be there making the rounds if you want other pictures, bring your camera too if you like, we will fellow ship, party, talk and get lots of goodies just for coming. It will be a really amazing evening. We have spent six months planning this event and meeting to refine it to the best event we could plan so I think you all will be really happy with all the changes and fun stuff to do. We have a great slide show ready to go of a lot of our before and afters pictures, inspirational stories and lots more to share! Don't forget our grand prize for the night is a 52 inch hi definition TV to be raffled off at the end of the evening. It will be a great night. We have a wonderful menu with lots of LEGAL food and so many activities planned it will be fun for all - not just the WLS patients, but guests too. bring your pics and be ready to share, party and go home a winner!
