 Hey there,

I realize that the 24th has come and gone, but will there be another support group meeting in the future? I just moved to Portland from Washington state and am looking for a WLS support group (I had RNY in February of last year). Any ideas? 

Thanks so much!

OHSU has two WLS support groups.  One meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. The other group meets on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.  There is a Q&A session on the 4th Wednesday of every month from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. 

Each group meets at the Paul Kirk Conference Center on the 3rd floor of the 16-story Center for Health and Healing, 3303 SW Bond Avenue (east of Macadam) in Portland. 

Underground parking is provided at the entrance on Whitaker Street, across the street from the building itself.

All pre-op and post-op patients and other interested parties are welcome!

For further information, contact the Digestive Health Center at 503-494-4373 or e-mail at [email protected].

Hope this helps!

There are the 3 support groups a month.  The first two that were mentioned generally have guest speakers.  The third group, on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 10 am, is more patient group support, mediated by Gloria Yu a Digestive Health Nutritionist. I attend at least two of the meetings a month (the Wednesday’s) and find them to be very beneficial as a healthy habit for success in my weight loss management. 
I had RNY a year ago March 11^th, next week. I cannot believe it has been a year. 

I hope you are able to make it to the groups. I look forward to meeting you.

 Thank you both for the info - I will definitely attend at least one of these... I am a full time student at U of Portland so the middle of the day meetings might not work so well for me, but I'll look at my schedule. If I see you I'll be sure to come introduce myself! Thanks so much, again!
