Daily Post--4/12/08

Yes, I would so lost with out my support groups. I attend one once a month and I just found a new one that meets every week and I am enjoying that. Because it is so new I am the only person who attends so its like I have another therapist to work with on a one on one basis and I enjoy it. I also have been doing an on line suport group that I found out about two weeks ago.

I have so much support here I love it!!! I am so lucky to have found this site! I attended a support group in person this past week, I haven't attended one since about 3 months post-op. I was very disappointed. There was no "support". The Nut. stood in front of us and answered questions but we never got to talk about what we needed to DISCUSS ~ she seemed to shut us down whenever an emotion topic came up. I won't be wasting my time again.

I try to attend the local support group meeting about 4 times a year. I work the afternoon shift so I have to take the night off to go so that is why I am not able to go more frequently. I enjoy reading OH of course for support and I also read some posts on a couple other on line support groups. Sally

I don't attend any; however, I have two friends who I have become very close with. We all had Lap Band sugery and we have the same doctor and we talk on a weekly basis. Michele

I have never attended a support group. I saw a few posts on here about online support groups.... I have never heard of one of them before.... if anyone could send me information about one of these groups I would really appreciate it.... thanx
