Michelle, I'll email you the suport group list. There are folks all over. However, many never attend any groups and suffer in silence. 1 group is in Symrna, just up the road from Dover. Tonite in New Castle there is a meeting at Victory Fellowship Church on Route 40, next to the Walmart. Starts at 7:00. 20 miles give or take from you. Elissa
Topic: Is anyone?:
Is there anyone on this board that lives on or close to Dover AFB? I really need to hook up with some people who have been through the same thing I have been through. I am off to have my first appt this morning with my Primary Care doctor on the base and to get referrals to Bariatric and Gastro Doctors. I have an ulcer that I occured after my surgery that is not getting any better. Thanks for all your help. Michelle Personal email: [email protected]
Topic: Great Beginnings South Lap Band Support Group Meeting 12/17/09
Happy Holidays!
I hope everyone is doing well and isn't going too crazy during this very busy time of year.
Our December support group meeting is this Thursday, December 17, 2009, from 7 - 8:30PM, in the First State Surgery Center lobby.
Hopefully you will have a chance to take a little bit of time out of your schedules for yourself and can come to the meeting. And if you are not able to come, please have a very happy and healthy holiday season and see you in January!

Topic: Support group this weekend?
Good Morning All,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a support group going on this weekend. Since we have moved to Dover I seemed to have put on a few pounds and really feel the need to hit a support group. Any help would be appreciated. Have a blessed Friday! Michelle
Topic: RE: Depression, weight gain, possible hernia?
Hi Kathy, I'm a Kathy too.
I just to tell you an abbreviated version of my story.
Moved here 4 yrs ago to escape the high NJ property taxes with my husband and 2 small kids.
My husband could not find a job, so he went the self-employed route. Thank God we had made a good profit on our last house. Four years later he's still self-employed which might sound like a good thing but if you're not from here you can forget it. We tried to sell our house a year and a half ago but no bites due to the mkt. We can't try to sell again because we wouldn't walk away with anything and then how do you move again. I guess a house rental would be our only choice...but only if they don't examine our credit history and discover our late mortgage payments. On top of that, in January, my husband told me he didn't love me when I asked him if he did and said oh so more than that (the blame game), spinning me into a nervous breakdown. Since, I have been in therapy every other week and I'm on an antidepressant. I didn't realize one person could have such power over your feelings and general mental health. I'm a stay at home mom with not a heck of a lot of options. Divorce is not practical. We get along okay, but, of course I'm still devasted. I spend 3-4 hrs a day looking for a job or doing some stay at home work I recently got involved in that I'm actually enjoying a little...and it keeps me busy and focused.
So, I know about depression. As far as weight, I'm 35 lbs over. Depression really takes control of your eating habits..and you probably want to lay down a lot right? Two pieces of advice -move when you can, even if it's cleaning, take a multivitamin (with B Complex for energy) for your age group, and check this out (http://whywearefatandhowtoloseweight.blogspot.com).
Good luck,
Kathy
