meet up groups
Hello! :) I'm actually not sure about this site, just because I'm so new to it also, but that said the hospital you're considering having surgery at may have resources and/or your physician might have some pointers? My physician is actually the one that told me about this site . . the hospital I will use is a "Bariatric Center Of Excellence" and has all kinds of helpful information and support groups . . they've been wonderful and strongly encourage that you attend as many support groups as you'd like to, even before you've made your decision about surgery . . I haven't quite made it to any yet, but I figure it's a way to connect, ask questions and learn. I'm in the process of meeting with counselors and their dietitians at this point . . your hospital should have a website and resources too, but if not I would also try to Google or search it i.e. "Bariatric Support Groups in Wilmington, NC" and see what you get? Hope this helps and hope you find something great!
