I now live in tulsa and i do need a support group and i have no friends here. Please can someone help me what makes it worse is i am off on medical leave from work because of hand problems. When and where is a support group and would anyone like to have a new friend Marsha

Marsha, I'm in OKC, not Tulsa, but here's a link to a message about a support group there in Tulsa: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/state-forums/OK/postdetail/3057.html?vc=0 The post is a couple of months old and concerns several Tulsa meetings. You could probably either email the gals that posted the info or call the places where the meetings were held and get the latest meeting date and time. Hope this helps!!!

Marsha, There is a support group that meets on the 2nd Monday of every month in Tulsa at the UMAC. To find information on it, you can visit www.okweightloss.com or call Dr. Gorospe's office at (918) 252-2800. During office hours they have a recording that gives info on it. All pre and post op patients welcomed even if they had a different doctor. HTH Pamela

I have not had my surgery yet, but I have come across the "Pouch Rule for Dummies". Some of them pertain to the reason you may be getting hungry. My sister last year lost her daughter from leukemia. Since then she has gained some weight. The one thing she is doing is drinking when she eats. This flushes the food right through the small stomach, making you hungary right after you eat. http://www.digitalhorsewoman.com/pouchrules.htm Anyway, another thing you can do is go talk to your nutricianist. They have probably helped many with your same predicament. Later, Jane Kinsey Dr Ronnie Keith/Transect Lap RNY 3 Oct 05 275/275/150
