Hi! I'm from Rochester and I know that Olmsted Medical Center has a support group that meets once a month (free of charge). I hope to have surgery in September at Mayo and plan to participate in OMCs support group after surgery.That's great. I use Olmsted as my primary care, so I'll have to ask my doc about this group as I didn't know it was there. I had my surgery at Gunderson in LaCrosse and they have groups, but the drive is too much. Thanks for the info, and good luck with your surgery! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App

That is too bad you can't find local support if you need it. You do have us here. Hopefully you have family and friend support. Especially those days you need it most. Be sure to reach out on here anytime you need it. As you can see it's a very open place to discuss ANYTHING!Good luck. HW: 281.5 on 10.30.15 SW: 245.7 on 6.1.16 CW: 213 on 7.25.16 I am very blessed to have a good support system in my family and at my job. The part I miss is meeting face to face with others who have been down my path. I'm a counselor myself, so I know he important that is. I value my feedback from everyone on here as well. Thanks!

Hey all! I'm in the Rochester area. Sleeved May 2nd. No support groups around here. It's really a shame there isn't more support options overall. Hope you are all doing well! Sent from my KFASWI using the BariatricPal App
