Hey Western PA!

After 3 years of surgery, successful weight loss and maintenance, I have been attending Overeater's Anonymous meetings.  I do believe I have a truly unhealthy relationship with food and yes, I am a compulsive overeater. The meetings really help me deal with the head hunger.

The problem is I don't really feel welcome at the meetings, as many of the participants believe that the only way we should manage our weight is through the 12 steps and not surgery.  I thought about going and not telling anyone, but so much of the work you do at the meetings is about honesty and I don't want to lie about it.

So, the question is:  is anyone in Southwestern PA interested in joining me as we start an OA meeting specifically for WLS patients?  Let me know.
thanks,
Lou

I'm in!!

Hooray!  I have a few other friends that have had the surgery who aren't on the OH Boards who I know would like to join us too!

Hey,
Can I have your email address?  I am starting a distribution list for our OA meetings.
thanks,
Lou

Obviously to far from me, but wanted to say it sounds like a great idea!

Thanks!  Wish you could join us :(

to0 far for me too... but a terrific idea!  Let's hope you make this happen!

I am going to do my best to make it happen - thanks for the kind words of support!

I think I'd really be interested in that...

I am so glad... I will keep you posted!
Lou
