Looking for a Local Support Group

[~Trixie~ 0]

Aloha!

My husband and I recently relocated to Oahu from NY (not military, just looking for a change in lifestyle). As you can imagine, this has been an extremely emotional journey and unfortunately, my weight loss has come to a standstill (and some weight is creeping back on! EGADS!) I know it is from the overeating, eating the wrong things, and not exercising.

I want to get back on the "bandwagon" and I believe the first step is finding a regular support group to attend. I live in Mililani and would love to find a group close to me, but I am willing to travel anywhere because that is how strongly I believe in the importance of a solid foundation of support.

Thanks in advance and hope to meet some fellow bandsters!!!

Trixie,

I wish I could help, but I'm on the Big Island. I know there are several bandsters from Oahu on the Forum, you might want to send them a PM and find out where they are. Good Luck!

Thanks so much for your advice, Phyl. How's life on the Big Island?

Hi Trixie, I am 4 years out and not happy with my slow continuous weight gain. One of the active Lap Band support groups would be Dr. Fowler at Castle Hospital. His people used to post a lot on this website but have since petered out. I had my band done by Dr. Lapschies at Queens's, but I don't think they have a support group any more.

If you ever want to walk, especially on Sunday's, give me a call. I am always looking for people and places to walk. My cell phone# is 383-3820 or my work phone is 971-7199.

Aloha, Paula Aurio

P.S. also try ObesityHelp.com, the Hawaii State forum. They get more input than this board lately.
