I was thinking of attending one of the support groups in Richmond at St. Mary's. But not sure which one I should attend. It is a 1 1/2 drive so I want to make sure I get the right one.

Any suggestions?

Our surgeon's office offers a support group every Thursday of the month as well as Mondays. The listings for the support group is as followed....

1st Thursday of the month: open to all post op patients looking for additional emotional & behavorial support. 6:30-8:00

2nd Thursday of the month: Forever Thin Support Group: open to all surgical weight loss patients, pre op, post op or just wanting information. Family & friends are welcome. 7:00-9:00

3rd Thursday of the month: open to all post op patients looking for additional emotional & behavioral support. 6:30-8:00

4th Thursday of the month: open to all pre & post op patients wishing to learn more about proper nutrition & supporting your weight loss goals. 6:30-8:00

2nd Mondays of the month: open to all lap band patients or indivuals considering the surgery. 7:00-8:30

Me, personally, I attend the Forever Thin Support Group as requested by Jeannine and also one of the behavorial support groups due to some issues I have with food and/or the fear of it. I am also thinking about attending the nutrition support group. Personally, I think you could benefit from the Forever Thin group. Irene is WONDERFUL and covers so much. She also will be happy to help you with anything even if it wasn't covered in the meeting. Looking forward to seeing you at a group in the future.

Yes, this Thursday is the 2nd Thursday. I should be attending, depending on my schedule with school so hopefully, we'll see you there!
