Support Groups
I've seen several messages about support groups-Jules mentioned a couple.
How do us 'newbies' locate these support groups? Are they just for the 'losers' or can anyone attend?
I'm planning to go to the WLS seminar with Dr. Pohl's group next week but I'm not sure where to locate the support groups.
Thanks for your help!

Hey Kelly!
Send me an email to the address below. I will email all the RI support groups to you.
We are ALL welcome to attend ALL the support groups! In fact, I strongly encourage you to go to as many meetings as you can prior to your surgery so you can get a better perspective on what to look forward to.
You can also bring your own support team (whether it be family or friend(s)) with you to the groups!
When you go to Dr. Pohl's and Dr. Giovanni's seminar next week, be sure to get there early. Sometimes there is standing room only if you you get there too late. Bring a pen and paper for notes and make sure you stay for the full 3 - 3 1/2 hours so you can sign the attendance sheet at the end of the seminar. There's also a GREAT Q&A section at the end of the seminar...so...if you have any questions, write them down and bring them along with you!
I'm happy to see you seeking this option!
Have a great day!
Jules
