Monday Morning Coffee !!!

I've never participated in a WLS support group, but would like to.  I've gone to two and they both were cancelled.  I'd like to know about the Metro Detroit Support Group.  Please let me know when and where it is. 

Happy Tuesday!

I am so happy that this subject has been going on for the last few day , this shows me that this need is a real...

Please keep trying and reaching out to each other here to find a group ...

I myself and my wife are so happy that we meet someone like Vicky Jo . To give up her time for others in are area.
 
Good luck to all of you  
Please Never give up trying

We used to have one in Ann Arbor but it kind of disassembled.  People are so busy and noone could hardly make the times and days.  It was a nice group and wi**** was still around...Katie??? Maybe have it on a Sat am for coffee or tea??

PS  I agree with all the pre op questions- I love to answer and help pre ops but after the same questions everytime it gets redundant.  I would like a post op group...because there are more issues after surgery then just FOOOOD.

The new Detroit area group meets at Lifetime Fitness in Novi on Haggerty north of 8 Mile Road on Sautrday mornings at 9:30.  I will see if I can find the link to our leader. 

As for OA, I think it is a great group for weight loss support in general, but some of the issues we WLS patients face are unique to us, and we sometimes don't get support from people who think we took the "easy way out" nor do they know the unique issues we face, like dumping or "getting stuck" etc.

Here is the link for the Novi meeting.  Laura can tell you more.  We changed the time to 9:30 for weigh in (optional) and 10 for the actual meeting.
