Support Group Meetings

 Hi.......I'm a new pre-op. I just wanted to know where I can get a list of support group meeting times at Roger Williams and RIH. I have the list of dates for the Miriam and went last week. I just want to get more involved and informed with people who are going through the same. Thanks so much!!!! ~~~~~kim

Kim:

The RIH meeting is the 1st Wednesday of the month (so this week) from 6:15 to 8 pm.  The web link is here:  http://www.lifespan.org/services/support/prov.htm#Miriam (scroll up the page to the RIH info).  It's the "Weight Loss Surgery Support Striders".

I'm sure someone will post the RWGH info, or you could try their website.

Hi Kim,

If you would like an email reminder sent to you about the Living Life Group, please send me an email [email protected].

I'm glad to see you're interested in the support groups. I attribute going to support groups as a big part of the success I'm having.

See you soon!
