telephone support group looking for new members
The group meets every Tuesday night from 7:30 to 8:30 pm EST. We understand sometimes things come up but are looking for members that can commit to being on the call most weeks.
Currently all group members are RNY folks, all post op though at different stages. Pre ops would be welcomed to join, too, though. The group is currently all women, but men would also be welcomed.
The group is not professionally facilitated. Members take turns facilitating. Basically, the facilitator chooses a topic for discussion and kind of monitors things to make sure everyone gets to participate and the discussion runs smoothly. The group focus on support, not education like some surgeon's support groups do - for instance, there won't be a lecture on vitamins or exercise or plastic surgery, although members can ask questions about those things. Some past topics have included things like dealing with head hunger, maintenance, how to stay on track. how WLS has affect relationships, food addiction, mental health issues and body image.
If anyone is interested in joining, please PM me. Or PM if you have more questions. I think we have room for two new members right now, so I'll kind of do a first come, first serve thing. If more than two people are interested, what I'll do is keep a list of the others and then contact them whenever we have more space. We try to keep the group to about eight members, give or take a couple.
