LVH support group and volunteers

I went to the support group last night and while the first couple were up speaking someone came up and said they need volunteers so I signed up.  You will be there for new WLS patients and I am sure you can stay connected with them afterwards.  I plan to make little cards with my phone number and emails once I am an approved volunteer to give to the patients I work with.  It is a way to help give back and help them stay on track.  My biggest encouragement to them is to come to support groups.  I also will be using it to keep ME on track and get on a good exercise plan because I can't be a good advocate for them if I am not on point.  I will provide more info when I have it if anyone wants it.  

I signed up too Sandra!!

I have to remember to look for you next month, I am there every month.

Please do look for me!!  I raised my hand and was the 3rd volunteer to talk if they had time, but they did not have time.  You know, when we spoke (hubby and I) at the July meeting I was looking at the couple who stood up and wondering about them getting together!  Low and behold that month is when they did!  How sweet is that for them.  :)  Where do you sit?  I didn't see too many post ops there at all this time! 

This month I sat in the last row in the last seat on the right side of the room (facing the speakers).

I usually sit towards the back.  I asked the question about not being able to tolerate solid food for one year.

Hi Ladies,
I am new to the site and came accross your posting about the LVH support group. If you would not mind, could you please tell me if I am able to attend the support groups there even if I am having my surgery somewhere else.
Thanks for your time,
Mandy

i need to get to a meeting  but i have an evening class on wednesdays  so earlesyt one i can make is the december one but ill be  1 day post op

I remember you from support groups, George.  Why will you be one day post op at the December meeting?  are you having some of your plastics done then? 

Mandy, I just replied to your thread, but I am sure you can attend our meetings.

Anyone can attend.  You just have to sign up.   Call  610-402-CARE and tell them you want to sign up for the October Weight Loss Surgery Support group.  They mail you a confirmation letter.  I know people have asked questions in the group before and stated they had their surgery elsewhere.
