LisaMergs 2,854 Posted April 1, 2016 Hi all! I live in the suburban Chicago area. A few of my Bariatric friends and I are looking to create a non-hospital based support group that meets weekly. Our aim is to create a safe, happy environment where we can share, support and help one another. Weekly attendance isn't mandatory but we have decided that for many of us having that weekly touchstone can help keep us more accountable. We will branch out to cover different topics suggested by group members, do some fun things together ( an outing here or there) perhaps a clothing exchange program etc. If interested message me here and I'll send you the link to our group! Thanks! Lisa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

feelfatnomore 1 Posted April 27, 2016 I haven't had the surgery and am looking into options since my insurance will not cover it. But I would love to get some feed back on your experiences etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelfatnomore 1 Posted March 9, 2017 I would be interested as long as it isn't too far and the time works. Weekends are better for me bc I have two small children. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
