Smile Are There Any support Groups in UK

I was wondering if anyone knows of any groups in the UK?

I would like to meet new people and make friends thought this is a good way of finding people who will understand how our lives have changed through this operation.

thanks Dianne

Hello Dianne,
From the list I received from the National Health (I went private though, in Belgium), I have the following details:
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence
http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/CG43...fo.pdf/English

and Obesity and Overweight - Patient Information Leaflet (NHS Direct)
http://www.cks.library.nhs.uk/patien...eaflet/obesity

and probably the most helpful:
TOAST (The Obesity Awareness and Solutions Trust) self help group
The Latton Bush Centre
Southern Way
Harlow, Essex
CM18 7BL
Helpline 0845 045 0225 (charged at local rate)
web: www.toast-uk.org.uk
Email: obesity.helpline@toast-uk.org.uk

Hope the above helps. Let me know otherwise!
Cheers!
from your Londoner!
