Kaya81 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Any support groups/lunches that happen in Vancouver or Surrey? I see ones for North Van and Chilliwack and Victoria but never for where I would be able to get to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doddie63 6 Posted March 30, 2008 no, support groups are few and far between. The best one is a combination of gastric bypass and banded patients. There website is BCWLS. Try their website because they post all meetings. Doddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ang1982 4 Posted March 31, 2008 Any support groups/lunches that happen in Vancouver or Surrey? I see ones for North Van and Chilliwack and Victoria but never for where I would be able to get to. Unfortunately the Chilliwack one is a support group of just me.... hahaha, so far not really any response to wanting to have a get together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doddie63 6 Posted March 31, 2008 North Vancouver group has a total of four. Two from North Van, one from Pemberton and one from LM. Wish we could get more but we don't even get a nibble. Guess people think they can do it on their own, unless of course they attend a mixed gastric bypass & banded group. These groups are great but I found the gastric bypass patients lose weight so rapidly that their needs were different to mine. I sure hope the N.V. group holds up.

Kaya81 0 Posted April 1, 2008 I would love to meet with other bandsters but I would never get to North Van. The skytrain to downtown Vancouver is as far as I venture. Being originally from Australia I don't have a clue where I am going if I venture outside Surrey hahaha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doddie63 6 Posted April 1, 2008 Kaya I don't blame you what with all the skytrain muggings go on. I ceertainly would not venture out your way. I wish you luck in finding a group. As I said I know the BC WLS groups meet all over Vancouver LM. Doddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen101 0 Posted April 2, 2008 Any support groups/lunches that happen in Vancouver or Surrey? I see ones for North Van and Chilliwack and Victoria but never for where I would be able to get to. I'm not aware of a support group in Victoria, but have recently asked if anyone would like to get together if they live on Vancouver Island. Anyone from the mainland who would be interested is also welcome. If there is a Victoria support group, I would like to contact them, so if you are out there please let me know. Thanks.
