weekly telephone support group looking for new members
My support group has room for a couple new members if anyone is interested.
It's a telephone support group, done over a conference call. We meet weekly on Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30 EST. The group is not professionally facilitated. Members take turns facilitating the group, which basically means when it's your turn, you pick a topic, make sure the group starts and ends on time, and make sure everyone gets a chance to share if they want to.
The group focuses on providing support to members rather than education. For instance, we might talk about things like how to remember to take your vitamins but we don't talk a lot about what vitamins to take, or we might talk about how we feel about having or not having plastic surgery but won't discuss the details of the different types of plastic surgery people might have. Other topics have included things like setting goals, staying motivated, dealing with head hunger, relationships, depression, food addiction and transfer addiction.
All members of the group are RNY patients. Currently it's all women but we'd be open to male members if any are interested. Currently all members are post op, all at different stages, but pre ops are welcome too.
We are looking for people that can commit to attending on a fairly regular basis. I know stuff comes up and no one can guarantee they'll be there every single week, but we'd like members that can at least commit to attending at least 75% of the time.
Anyone that is interested, please PM me. We'll go with the first couple people that contact me. If more people are interested than we have room for right now, I'll keep a list and contact people later if room opens up.
