Lubbock support group?
I need a support group! My surgeon moved away from Lubbock a couple of years ago, but even before he moved, support group meetings out of his office were few, far-between and very poorly attended. After he left I established a relationship with another bariatric surgeon here in town. He's a great guy with a wonderful staff, but his support group meetings are held in conjunction with prospective patient meetings, where his surgical patients are asked to give testimonials. Only after all of that is over does the support group meeting begin, usually at least 30-45 minutes after it was supposed to. The last time I went, I left after an hour and ten minutes and still no group meeting. I don't have that kind of time to waste! I'm more than happy to "testify" and encourage prospective patients, but the truth is, I'm struggling and need help myself! I had no idea that losing the weight was the easy part (for me, anyway--I realize that's not the case with everyone!).
So, long story short, does anyone know if there is a Lubbock-area WLS support group? If not, would anyone else be interested in starting one? I think OH offers training in group leadership and I need to look into that, but I'd like to know if there's any interest.
thanks for your time!
