Back to Basics Boot Camp
Newbie
First off, welcome and glad you are here.
You may want to do a google search for gastic bypass surgery offices in your new town or see what is available through your current health care provider. I go to a support group meeting that is associated with another insurance company since I had my surgery over 50 miles away from home and they ask for a $5 donation per visit. I have made several friends through this support group that I do things with outside of group...like exercise.
About the weight regain, it's a personal struggle for me too. Where do you feel your pitfalls are? Have you found a new place to exercise? Are you snacking on slider foods? Getting your water in? I have started to record my food again today and low and behold I am eating what I should eat in calories by the time I was done with lunch. No wonder the weight is sticking to me. Start by analysizing where you are struggling so you know where to start. If there is more than one area start with one, master that and move to the next.

I did the google search and found a listing in the Citrus County chronicle from Sept 2010. It said that CMHS Adminin Building for a Bariatric Support Group meets 6:30PM every 3 months in the Cypress Room call Claudia Blotz at 697-0051 or Bette Clark at 860-0383.
Not sure if it's still meeting, but you might get a newer lead from one of them.

Another suggestion to find a support group. If you go to the top of the Obesity Help website and look under the forum's tab. You will see a pull down menu for Go Local. Select your state. Being from California, I'm not so familar with the distances in Florida, but there were several support group meetings listed there. Might be another lead to find you a more regular support system with face-to-face people, if that is your preference.
