Topic: Hello? Anyone there?

I am new to this and would really like to be able to get together with others locally for help and support. I attended my first support group meeting at Riverbend last Monday and was encouraged that there were so many there. I found this group on OH and find no activity. What do we need to do to spark a fire of discussion?

Topic: RE: It would be great to have an active Eugene-Springfield group!

Hi, I live in Cottage Grove. I've had my lapband for 2.5 years. And I am starting to gain over the holidays. I did it to myself. I ate lotsa food. But I need to get back on the bandwagon. Would you or anyone be interested in emailing me to discuss strategies and ideas, recipies, etc? Let me know! Thank you, Linda

Hi! I attend most of the Bariatric Center's support group meetings, but they're few and far between. I could really benefit from some face to face, or at  least real time, meetings with my bariatric peeps.

Topic: Support Group in Eugene or Springfield???
 Hi !!!

I'm very new to OH. I'm not sure how everything works just yet. I love the online help, but I was also wondering if the group has meetings in Eugene or Springfield.

I had Lap-Band surgery at the end of September '09. So... I guess it's been almost 3 months. I have a great deal of weight to lose and could use all the help I can get. I have been disabled from a few problems, and pray that weight loss will help me to have more mobility and participation in life.

I'd love to hear from anyone out there, and hopefully I can learn from your experiences. I am here to share also. I need for this endeavor to be successful. It's about the last chance I have.

Hope to hear from someone.    I would like to share my support with you as well.

Blessings
