There is  a London Bariatric Group on Facebook as well as other groups if you're interested.  There's also a coffee night tonight that I'm thinking of going to.  I think they meet at a Timmy's on Wilton Grove?

There are coffee nights and meetings at St. Joe's Hospital on every third Sunday of the month I believe.  Hoping to get there myself.  The coffee night is tonight and I believe they meet at Timmy's at Wilton Grove.

Hey friend! I went through Guelph as well - I am 4.5 months post op. The staff at the Guelph bariatric clinic were amazing, always felt comfortable around them and wasn't embarrassed about my weight or just being me like I used to be. I've had medical staff say "oh wow...." when I respond to the "how much do you weigh" question...doesn't make me feel very good. BUT, they're awesome there, you will feel like you have an added family!

-I also need to join that FB group...thanks for the tip everyone!
