Looking For A Florida Gastric Sleeve Surgery Support Group

[shannonbcaldwell 4]

Does anyone in here know of a Sleevers support group in Tallahassee, Florida ? I have a date of Dec 22, 2011 set for my VSG surgery. I was looking for somewhere where I can talk to people in person. 375, 5.11", BMI of 54 today. Looking forward to getting a new life started. I am hoping this will help me help myself.

Shannon, Have you talked to your surgeon about a support group? Many of the hospitals doing bariatric surgery have support groups related to them. There IS a Florida sleevers group on this forum, if an online group would help you.

Unfortunately, I'm too far south to help you with finding a group near Tallahassee. There is one in Sebastian, FL and one in Melbourne, I believe. Those are both pretty far for you, but it you look, you may be able to find one closer. I'm sure there are several in Tallahassee, even if they aren't related to your particular surgeon.

Good luck with your journey!!
