Default Poll- info for support groups? Your opinion needed
Hey Folks!!
Not actually a "Daily Poll" but similar.....

I’m putting in a little time working on some stuff for my local support group and need some input...advice-

For those of you who attend support groups,
(Or those who went, and stopped going for whatever reason)
A question-

What sort a material would you have found useful?
For example-
If the Support Group Leader had a stack of Handouts,
Which ones would you have taken and read?

"Tips and Tricks of Successful Post-ops?"
"WLS Friendly Products and where to find them?"
"Simple WLS friendly Recipes and Food Ideas?"
"Nutrition/Vitamin Info?"
"Exercise Helpful hints for the Obese headed into rapid weight-loss?"

What?

Short lists?
Detailed info with illustrations?
Photos/Pictures?
Links to websites?
Over all plans?
or Short "Blocks of info?"

No doubt those "just starting" will have different needs and wants than those
Who are further out Post-Ops. I'm interested in Both.

Just gathering input….

Thanks!

Best Wishes-
Dx

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I am a big information gatherer, so I would probably read any and all! But I included what I would be most likely to read first, and what I am interested the most for now in my journey.

"Tips and Tricks of Successful Post-ops?"
"Nutrition/Vitamin Info?"

Yeah, I read everything I could get my hands on and sometimes 2-3 times if I was trying to wrap my brain around something!
