Support group

Hello,

I am looking for a support group in my area. I live in South Pasadena, Ca. Anyone know of one?

Thank you

Felicia

I'm in Penna, so I don;t have a group for you. 

TIP:  Every Hospital that is a Bariatric Center of Excellence (and there are prob skads of them in SoCal) has to have a Support Group to become a Bariatric Center of Excellence.  I moved and had to rummage around the hospital's website to find it - it may be easier to call. 

Thanks...I will check that out.

Hope you find a good one - you might try a few to find the one that best fits your schedule and needs.  I don;t know where you are in the process, but I think that going to a Support Group has really helped me:

1-Keeps me honest - they let me weight in.  There is power in not being afraid of the scale

2-I see others making progress and it just gives me joy and reinforces the progress that I have made - not just in losing wt, but in knowing myself and how I operate

I have even gone to one far from home when I was on an extended vacation.

Im 6 years out this Feb 9th. I eat pretty healthy. I had a few issues regarding vitamins. On B12 shots now, and I am better. I just need the support of a group to see what I am doing wrong. I am active. I am going to see a Thyroid doctor next month. Maybe someone is going threw what I am. Would be nice to hear from other WLS peeps.

I'm in LA (SFV) so I don't know if any in your area. I do go to Overeaters Anonymous meetings for support and it's changed my life and I find it so much more helpful than post WLS support groups. If you want to chat about it or know more, let me know  

Yes, where about in the SFV?

I'm in north Hollywood. 

Ok. What day does the support group meet?

My favorite meetings are 

1. Saturday morning at 7:30am in Burbank. 
2. Sunday morning at 7:30am in studio city. 
3. Wedensday evening at like 6:30 maybe in studio city. 
4. Best one is a women's group Thursday night at 7:15 pm in valley village. 

If you want, you can check out my blog with the link below for more on how OA program has changed my life recently. I'd be more than happy to find and go to a meeting with you around your area if the valley is too far.
