In-person support groups are awesome

I went to my first support group today and I met an awesome group of women in all stages of the process. Does anyone in bandland find their support group beneficial. Study shows members keep off the weight longer when active in support groups

I go to a support group at the hospital I had my surgery. The psychologist I worked with runs it. She's great. I haven't been able to go for the past few months and miss it. Will go next month for sure.

I also go to a support group at the hospital I had my surgery and my surgeon host it each month. I find it very helpful, he has great knowledge and being someone who struggled with his weight in the pass, gives him tremendous understanding of the struggles we face with food on a daily basis. I look forward going each month and have made a connection at the support group with another banster that was banded on the same day as me and we are able to share out journey's ups and downs with each other.
