I keep thinking I will attend OA to help deal with all the emotional eating issues that were not cured by surgery, but for some reason I've been avoiding it. As time goes on I know I will need to address these issues to be successful in meeting my goals.

I was just wondering if any of you have been involved with OA and what were you"re experiences?  What other types of support or counselling have you explored?   Are there any services available to us (without cost) in Ontario?

Thx...Jane

im pre op but not sure if southern ontario offers it but in northern ontario there is a work shop offered threw the doctors office called Cravings Change. It works on why we eat food and things like that i found it very beneficial to me might be worth looking into and good luck

Utilize the supports at your centre.  They usually have social workers, psychologists and physiatrists. 

Regularly attend your local support group. Do coffee chats with other Wls patients.  Stay active on this site or in Facebook groups - wherever you find support.  

Talk with mentors. Find people you respect and trust who have gone through it. 

Look into eating disorder programs in your area when needed.  Often they are attached to anorexia programs.  I am a binge eater and did a program through mine. 

OA is one that many use.  It may not be relevant til it feels relevant like when you are struggling.  It may or may no appeal to you. 

Ive also done weigh****chers and  currently starting with TOPS again to make me accountable.  

Good luck.  The journey never ends.

TWH just started mindful eating classes. If this is your centre try that. If not se what your centre has. Most centres know that obesity has a psychological compnent

Hi Pat,

I didn't know TWH was offering those classes. I'd be very interested in finding out more about them. Do you have a contact name?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

TWH has a research study on mindful eating, but it was for patients who underwent WLS 1 or more years ago. I believe it may be filled already, but you can contact Dr. Susan Wnuk @ [email protected] or 416-603-5800 ext 2186

I tried going to OA once.  Found it very strange, so not for me.  Good luck!
