Support Group
VSG on 02/26/13
Hi All,
Not sure if everyone knows, but there is a non-profit English support group held every 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Ville St-Laurent Community Center. It was originally started by Dr. Christou's patients, but opened to anyone interested, had, or having WLS of any type. I've been going lately because I feel I need support myself. Having had the lap band, I know the "high" you get from the rapid weight loss and the downer you feel when the weight doesn't go down as quickly. I'm also trying to get back on track with great difficulty and work on the mental so that I will be better prepared when I have my sleeve.
Everything and anything is discussed in the meetings, struggling with emotional eating, exercise, etc. Sometimes there are even guest speakers. The meetings are free but a small donation to cover the cost of the room rental is at your discretion. The next meeting is August 17th from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. The address is 1375 Grenet, Ville St-Laurent.
If you want to get in touch with Jennifer who organizes the meetings, please let me know and I will e-mail you her address.

Hi Monica,
I most likely will not be there this Wednesday as I am working the later shift Wednesday. But pretty sure I will be there for September's meeting.
