Looking For Lap-Band Support Group Topics & Ideas

[OCPrincess 7]

Hi there,

I was banded on July 19th and was recently approached at work to start their first Lap-Band Support Group.... I'm so excited!!

Please share with me your ideas, any topics that might encourage you to attend a Support Group at work and/or guest speakers or experts who would attend our group to give encourangement and support to fellow banders?

Any advice or suggestions you can give me are welcome.

Thanks so much and I look forward to your responses.

You know, this might just be me personally, but I'd want some degree of discretion and anonymity to a support group at my workplace. Maybe even meeting off-site or something. I'm kinda private about sharing my personal weight struggles with my co-workers, but that doesn't mean I don't need support - know what I mean? Maybe it's just me. Something to consider if you don't share a need for privacy in that area.
