SUPPORT GROUP

I would like to join a support group in OKC for WLS patients. I had my surgery on Jan. 9th in Mexico and am doing great. However, I think a little support never hurt anyone. Any suggestions out there?

Hi Kathy, Congratulations on your surgery. If you get a chance check out the Living Our Dream bariatric support group at the Norman Regional Hospital Education Center. We meet the 3rd saturday of every month. The meeting starts at 11am. Go to yahoo.com and under groups check out Living Our Dream. Another good group is RnyNewBeginnings I think they meet sometimes in Edmond and OKC. I will email you the links. Michelle R OKC 368/205/?

Kathy, here are the links for the two groups i mentioned. Michelle http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/OKCRNYNEWBEGINNINGS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Living_Our_Dream/?yguid=196837311

OKC RNY New Beginnings is great and so is Living Your Dreams! There is even a third alternative - Foundation Weight Wise Oklahoma has a support group. Living Our Dreams and OKC RNY New Beginnings are both on line and live meetings, Foundation is live meetings only right now. Foundations group for all surgery types meets meet the first Thursday night monthly at 6pm. The primarily Lap Band Group through Foundation meets first Wedensday monthly from 12-1pm for "bring your own lunch" meetings. In March there wil only be one meeting of support groups - The Thursday night group will meet 3/2/6 at 6pm for a special presentation on plastics by Dr Jayesh Panchal. ALL ARE WELCOME - regardless of surgeon or group to all Foundation support group meetings. Hope to see you there! Tonja Please email if you have any questions!
