 great!

I would love to get together sometime soon. During the week would probably be best for me since I'll be in Morris County for work. My work schedule is a little crazy but mildly flexible. send me a prive message and we can work out the details.

It would be great having a friend who is my senior in the whole process. I look forward to meeting you!

 Alice - 

Thank you for the info! I like that the support group is held on Saturdays. My work week is always so busy. I guess I will see you there!

My surgeon does have a support group and I plan on attending that as well. They seem to suggest attending after surgery...but I would like to go to one pre-op as well.

Hi Christine.

I am definitely interested.  I live and work in Morris County.  I had the relaize band put in on 9/15/09.  Have lost about 85 lbs so far, but I too am looking for a friend to help get me through the rough times.  Let me know if you are still looking for a friend.

I look forward to meeting you! Most surgeons have their own support groups as well- mine has one for either RNY/lapband patients once a month and one for lapband patients.

Topic: post band - psych support needed
I have had my band in for over a year and have had little success.  I recently had it deflated until I could get myself better prepared psychologically.  I wasn't required to and it was never suggested that I have any kind of before surgery counseling and now I am feeling like I was very unprepared mentally for the surgery. 

If anyone knows of a good psychologist who deals specifically with eating disorders in the Union County area, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Liza

I am in Union county.  I am 6 months post op RNY.  I don't know if you are looking for any WLS person or specifically lap band.

There is a great support group in Union County- patient lead at the RWJ gym in Scotch plains- it has a good turn out at the meetings and there are usually both RNY and lap band people.  Here is the info


First Saturday Support of Union County is a peer to peer support group for members of the wls world.  It was established in March 2007 and we meet once a month, usually the first Saturday at RWJ Fitness/Wellness Center, 2120 Lamberts Mill Rd., Scotch Plains.  Email: firstsaturdaysupport@gmail.com 2010 Meeting Dates: 5/1, 6/5, 7/10, 8/7,9/11, 10/2, 11/6, 12/4.  The group is warm and friendly

Hello all!

I am pre-op lap band w/ the surgery date of 9/22/10. I live in Union County and work in Morris County. If anyone lives in the area, or is willing to travel (I'll meet halfway), I'd love to meet. Doesn't matter to me what stage of the journey you are in: pre or post. I'd just like to make a friend (or 8) who is going through WLS stuff.

I love the online support, but the person-to-person support is even better!

Anyone interested?
