I was at an OA meeting on Saturday where one of the people mentioned that there was a group with a special focus for WLS.  Although the woman knew that the group met on Tuesdays, she didn't know anything else.  It is not a registered meeting, so I couldn't find it on the OA website.

Has anyone heard of a meeting like this?  The support meetings are terrific, but I find that OA helps me with the day-to-day dealings with food and my relationship to it.

If you've heard of this, please let me know!!

Thanks.
 So far, so good.

I have heard of it, but don't know when/where they meet.  The group is called Bariatric Angels, and I think they meet somewhere in Bound Brook.

Yes they are almost exactly like OA, AA, etc. They meet on Tuesdays in Bound Brook. You have to be "invited" before you can go. Hopefully someone will have the contact info...it wasn't for me so I never persued it. I do run a peer to peer support group for pre and post ops every month in Scotch Plains. Our next meeting is on Jan. 10 at 10:30. We meet at the RWJ Fitness and Wellness Center, 2120 Lamberts Mill Rd. Please come if you can!

 Hi Sherri,

I've got your meeting on my calendar.

I've been an OA member for 30 years and find the support I find there very helpful.  There is a posting about the meeting that says nothing about having to be invited, so I'll be going over there next Tuesday.  If they kick me out, I'll find another meeting to go to.

Karen
 So far, so good.

Hi
Looking forward to meeting you. There is a woman from E. Windsor, Nancy, who wants to come to the meeting, perhaps the two of you can hook up somewhere. Can I give her your email address? Also, if you post a message on the main NJ boards forum someone will give you the Bariatric Angels contact...I believe that's how I got it. Thanks.

It would be fine to give her my email address.

I found the Bariatric Angels site and the info; so I'm going - there was nothing on the site that said that I had to be invited...
 So far, so good.

I have not heard of anything like that.  Sorry I couldn't help.
