Post Op Group meeting

[laurileet 86]

Tonight I attend my first Post op group meeting. I'm excited! I feel like i'm in an exclusive club, or sitting at the big kid table now LOL. How was your first post op meeting?

Mine was great. Everyone was very supportive and the veterans were very forthcoming with advice. Have fun!

I’m in Australia and my clinic had a post op support group and I’ve never actually been. It’s hard enough to catch up with my bariatric doctor, nutritionist and psychologist every few months.

I rely heavily on this site so I don’t feel alone in this WLS business!

And my new hospital(bless their somewhat dim ❤)schedules all theirs in the evening when I have no transport to get there. Ah I guess they ARE,trying.

It was a great meeting - go if you can! The stories and tips were wonderful. One lady's tip: if you're staying in a hotel that doesnt have a fridge in the room, ask for one for "medical purposes" so you can store you meds and Snacks. I'll share more of these as i hear about them.

I wish I had post-op group meetings. The surgical center I worked with had pre-op group meetings & individual post-op meetings. I moved out of state less than six months after surgery so I'm certain I missed some valuable info.

I'm glad to read you're getting value out of these sessions!

The meetings I go to are open to anyone, no matter where you had your surgery. Maybe you can find one near you.
