Hi all! I live in the suburban Chicago area. A few of my Bariatric friends and I are looking to create a non-hospital based support group that meets weekly.

Our aim is to create a safe, happy environment where we can share, support and help one another. Weekly attendance isn't mandatory but we have decided that for many of us having that weekly touchstone can help keep us more accountable. We will branch out to cover different topics suggested by group members, do some fun things together ( an outing here or there) perhaps a clothing exchange program etc.

If interested message me here and I'll send you the link to our group!

Thanks!

Lisa.

I'd be interested but it depends on which suburb.

Where are you? I'm in Gurnee.

Park ridge.

But we can move around[emoji4]

I'd be willing to drive!

Awesome! I'll forward the info tomorrow!

Wow, Gurnee is pretty far. I'm in the south suburbs, Glenwood.

I'm in Elgin

I haven't had the surgery and am looking into options since my insurance will not cover it. But I would love to get some feed back on your experiences etc.

I would be interested as long as it isn't too far and the time works. Weekends are better for me bc I have two small children.

I would be interested if we can do a central meeting spot:)
