Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Since most of you are quite far out from surgery, I was wondering if you still attend support groups. Do you find them helpful? Are you able to discuss things that you discuss here? Do the groups have planned agendas with no deviation from the topic? Does your group accept those who have had their gastric bypass surgery by other surgeons? Or is the group closed to that Doctor's patients only? There is a little controversy in my group about allowing " outsiders " to attend our meetings. The Docs think they may give their patients bad information. I think we all have similar problems and that we should allow all to attend. We are the only group available within a 3 hr drive for most of the people. What do you think? Also, I like to have fruit, water, or high protein snacks available at support group meetings. Do you have anything like this at your group? Is ther time allowed for socializing or exchanging ideas? Where are the meetings held? Thank you in advance for your help. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
