Support in Sandusky?



Recommended Posts

Anybody know of a support group close to Sandusky?

There was a general WLS support group at Firelands Regional Medical Center. I went to the meeting. I had been in constant contact with the leader of the group for days---I get there and nobody is there. I waited for a half an hour. The security guard contacted the operator who verified the support group meeting time. Still, nothing. They tried calling the group leader at home and got no answer.

I finally went home and sent an email telling her I was there but nobody showed up---she never replied to me again (although my email program showed she had read the email).

So, I guess that support group is out of the question. I don't even know if it still exists.:phanvan

I am sorry that you had that happen. Unfortunately I dont know of any around that are. But have to say even if they were still having those meetings I am not sure if I were you I would want to return. The least she could have done was answered your email. I find that rude and very unprofessional! Good luck with finding a meeting.

Where did you have your surgery? They should have a list of places.

In Toledo but it's about 65 miles from here. They have advertised the meetings there but those are all I know of.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
