I'm to the point where I feel like if I'm going to be successful that I need to find a nutritionist and/or a support group.

I live an hour north of Dallas but am more than willing to drive in to Dallas to attend one.

Anybody know?

I was banded in Mexico so I'm not really able to attend my Dr's support group!

Thanks!

Ruthie, there is a support group at Trinity Medical Center on Josey Lane in Carrollton. They meet usually on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6:30. Most of the people are patients of Dr. Veninga's, but everybody is welcome. Some of the people have had bypass, some are banded. Dr. Veninga is no longer doing the gastric bypass, so eventually the majority of the attendees will be bandsters. He also walks on the first Saturday of every month with a group of patients. We meet at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in west Plano and walk the 2 1/2 mile trail. He's also planning a family picnic in June. It's a fun group. His website is www.ntxbariatric.com and click on Patient Info and then Calendar of Events.
