Austin Support Groups

I had my Mental Health Assessment today and the therapist recommends I attend support group meetings. I had googled support groups in Austin, Tx before and didn't have any luck finding one. Does anyone know of any support groups in North Austin, Pflugerville or Round Rock?

I'm in Bastrop, and the only support group I've found is through my Doctor (Patel) at TX Bariatric centers. That's just once a month and it seems all the responses on the online forums are at least 1-3 years old. Aren't there any new Sleevers out there who are interested in posting online?

I'm getting discouraged since I can't do full exercise for another week and I've only lost about 25 pounds since pre-op. I'm 5 weeks out now.

I'd love to get together with some other Austin-area sleevers.

I never found one that I could go to. There is one that meets once a month at Saint David's but it's during the week when I can't get to it.

I've been going it on my own. Been doing ok but I can understand being frustrated by the lack of support

Hi MrsBarrykh,

I sent you pm today. Hang in there, it gets better!

I live in Cedar Park and would love a support group in Austin, Round Rock or Pflugerville. I'm 10 days post-op. Any help is appreciated.

jjsmimi, did you ever find a support group? Through BariatricPal I have started a support group in North Austin. We meet the first Saturday of the month at the Walnut Creek Baptist Church at 11am. We have a meeting tomorrow. You are more then welcome to drop by. We will be meeting at 11am.

25 pounds in 5 weeks sounds amazing to me :) I was banded on 8/26 by True Results in Austin and was informed that they also have a support group that meets once a week in the evenings. I really hope you find he support you seek. I am vey happy to have found this app just a little while ago :) Good luck!
