zkelleybelly 2 Posted March 30, 2008 Hi, I live in Peabody, MA and would like to start a support group in the evening or weekend and have live support. I know I can use some. I am a sugar addict and I cannot control it. I hope to hear from some of you guys soon. zkelleybelly:grouphug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notateechanow 7 Posted March 31, 2008 Not so sure I'd want to go to an actual meeting, but would certainly be willing to have a "buddy" to help me through and encourage me with all of this! Let me know if you're interested. I do live in the Boston area, but I'm not a fan of the group meetings....too many memories of failed attempts at Weight Watchers. :crying: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zkelleybelly 2 Posted March 31, 2008 it would only be for ideas and problems. now I am different than you I like the group meetings f to f. Where do you live in Boston? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notateechanow 7 Posted March 31, 2008 I'm in the Woburn area, but had surgery through Brigham and Women's. They have a support group, but I've gone twice and didn't find it helpful. I also can't imagine trying to schedule any more meetings in my life right now. I'm not willing to give up my afternoons/evenings with the girls at the gym. :crying: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huntersmom 0 Posted April 11, 2008 HI, I live in Beverly and I also need some support but I really do not have alot of time to make it to a live meeting. I also crave a lot of sweets. That is my biggest problem. I do not get enough exercise either. The weather is getting a little better so I will be able to get out and walk. I seem to work well in challenges like exercise or maybe a junk food free challenge. If anyone is up to it lets do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AppleBottom 0 Posted April 29, 2008 Hey! I live in Gloucester, and I would love to get together for a meeting! I am still pre-op. I just scheduled my consultation with Dr.Vernon's office today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notateechanow 7 Posted April 30, 2008 It might be fun to wait until the weather is a little more consistently nice and find a day/time when we could meet up to take a walk---do a walk and talk--to kill 2 birds with one stone. Sounds like we're all relatively close, within 40 minutes drive, and could find something somewhat central. Think about sometime in May. My schedule changes from week to week, but I can try to be flexible..... :blushing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthyagain 0 Posted May 14, 2008 I'm In Woburn and would like to join your group. Please keep me posted with any developments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryrose 2 Posted May 31, 2008 I would love to join in. I live closer to the NH border though. If the drive was not bad, I would definitely be intersted. I live in Lowell about 10/15 minutes form the NH border. I definitely need help! lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellyh 0 Posted July 14, 2010 Hello All , I'm from Lynn and work in Peabody. My surgery will be at NSMC in Salem about the end of August. I love the idea of a support group close to home. I'm not so much into group meetings myself, but would love to go through all the trials and tribulations with others in my neighborhood. Who knows maybe down the road we can meet up for a Decaf or lite luncheon to Celebrate our success! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chansenrn 1 Posted January 1, 2011 Hi Kelly, I am having LapBand Surgery next Thursday. There is a support group in Norwood;however, I know that it is somewhat of a drive. The group starts this Wednesday from 6-7:30PM. If you are having a problem with surgar, I am not sure if you are consulting with a dietician. Although I am a nurse, I have learned alot. You body could be deficient in something making the cravings worse. Just a thought, Cheryl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
