Hello! Just getting started on my bariatric journey

Hi, I have been waiting to hear about the group meetings I believe are on Wednesdays? I don't know if I am to hear from someone or do I call to set up a time for me to go? I live in Barron and I really can't afford to go to Eau Claire every week. I am sort of getting discouraged about having the surgery since I don't know when this all takes place. I have seen a Nutritionist and Doctor for my beginning exercises.

Not sure if talking about once a month group online meeting or a different one.
The once a month one is for post surgery, see: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/event/bariatric-connections-support-group-9/

If this is a pre surgery meetings, I suggest you call Eau Claire clinic and ask about attendance information.

How are you doing with beginning exercises ?

@joysmiley64, CHANGE classes are scheduled weekly on Tuesdays at 12 noon, 4 pm or Wednesdays at 4 pm CT for eight weeks as you prepare for surgery. If you haven't heard the coordinator or instructor, please contact the Bariatric Surgery Team where you are registered in the Mayo Clinic Health System.

Let them know about your barriers to attending the class. There may be alternative options, like attending virtually or carpooling.
