New Orleans Area WLS Group on Facebook

 I've started a WLS group on Facebook for the New Orleans area.  If you are in the New Orleans area and are interested in participating in a group, please email me at [email protected].

There are guidelines for the group posted.  It is open to ALL people who want to lose a significant amount of weight through WLS or traditional dieting.  I am the moderator/admin for the group.  Providing full disclosure here:  I am a counselor intern and I am currently working on Bariatric Counselor certification through the American Association of Bariatric Counselors.  This group is NOT about recruiting clients, and when you join, I ask you to read the group rules.  No soliticiting for business.  If you are interested in counseling, I have specific instructions on the group as to how to contact me about that.  

The purpose of the group is to provide online support and create a community that gets together for healthful purposes like the local races, exercise at local parks and support.  If you are interested, please email me. 

I would be interested possibly.  Can I have more info please?

 Hi Robin!  It's a closed group on Facebook. I am trying to put together a psychotherapy group for WLS patients that is not affliliated with any surgeon's group. After a quick glance at your blog, I thought you might be interested in it.  Contact me via email at [email protected] with your last name, and I will send you a request to join the group on Facebook.
