New OH Group-Sharing New Beginnings

Merry Christmas everyone!  I wanted to let everyone know that I have created a new support group here on OH called Sharing New Beginnings.  My goal is to help those who are researching surgery, recent post-ops and vets alike in our journey by sharing my own experiences with a focus on dealing with emotional/mental health issues that come up after wls.  Its a work in progress so if you are interested please check back often.  I am also interested in starting a mentoring program to pair up vets with newbies to help answer specific questions that come up in the journey, especially the new post-op.  Telephone support, email or chats might be fun too. 

Merry Christmas!  Hope everyone has a great holiday and enjoys the day!

I think this a fantastic idea. I am 66 years old, surgery on Jan. 24 and frankley petrified. I need proof of loooooong term success and cant find really long termers. I an also seeking a counselor for the future.
Merry Christmas and we will talk a lot later.

Hello Mal,

This so such a great idea!!! I will be having surgery January 7th so in two weeks. I will love to be pared up with a vet. Please keep me posted!!! Add me as a friend! =)

 

I would like to be included. I am presently in the out-for-insurance-authorization stage. Hope to have a date this week or next.

Awesome idea!!!! I would love to join!!!

My surgery was 12/4 and I would love to join. Its very confusing and overwhelming...I feel like I need to learn how to eat and drink and research labels and nutrition facts....any help would be greatly appreciated....

Great idea!  My surgery is Jan 7.  Feeling stressed out and excited at the same time. 

My surgery is scheduled February 6th....I would love to be part of this group!

 

Hi Mal,

Thanks!
