I must say we have a brilliant time, have a coffee before, then we have a talk by someone, ie a dietician, surgeon or someone who has had a bypass/band. Or if no one is booked to speak, we just have an open session. There are usually quite a few there, 20, or 30. Not many of us take OH's to be honest, we have a good old girly natter, and you can donate/buy clothes there too. There is a raffle and then another coffee at the end. I shall definitely be going next week, as it will be the last meeting before my op, and I shall need all the reassurance I can get lol xxxxxxx
