Support group anxiety:

Hi everyone. So my insurance requires you to attend 1 support group for the surgery & I went to my first 1 last night. I have to say I was nervous at first because it's the always not knowing what to expect thought BUUUT I am so glad I went!! Seeing the panel of individuals that just went through the surgery from 2015/2016 was so comforting. Listening to how all of their experiences were different throughout their journey but that they all reached their goal weight was inspiring. Although I told myself I was only going to attend the recommended 1 time meeting....I will be attending all of them. The meetings are once a month, every 2nd Wednesday & next month they teach about how to grocery shop which I'm looking forward too.

Anyone else just starting their support group? What was your experience like? Will you go again?
