What is an ObesityHelp Weight Loss Support Group?
An ObesityHelp (OH) Weight Loss Support Group is part weight loss support group and part link to the latest information on weight loss surgery support. OH Support Groups leaders are fully trained and have access to the latest weight loss surgery information so they can provide the best obesity surgery support.
How can I participate in an ObesityHelp Weight Loss Surgery Support Group?
An OH Support Group Leader undergoes several hours of training from ObesityHelp in order to lead the weight loss support groups. OH Support Group Leaders organize a regular meeting – deciding time, meeting place, and content of each weight loss support meeting. OH provides monthly topic suggestions for bariatric surgery support meetings and puts OH Support Group Leaders in contact with each other – so you can share ideas and successes. The OH Support Group Leader attends additional training, special regional seminars, and conference calls to stay up to date with his/her knowledge.
What are the benefits of becoming a OH Support Group Leader?
OH Support Group Leaders have the benefit of being able to schedule the where's and when's of your weight loss support meeting. You receive training from OH – from dealing with group dynamics to understanding the intricacies and implications of the different types of weight loss surgery. OH continues to support you with monthly topic suggestions, handouts and agendas. You will also gain access to a “Share Board” where you can share ideas, frustrations and successes with others on the OH Support Group Leader program. In addition to the benefits of being a member, OH Support Group Leaders are given incentives that include free and reduced cost of OH Events based on the number of members of their weight loss support group are in attendance. Many OH events will include a section and/or reception exclusively targeting OH Support Group Leaders.
