I live in fort scott. Looking for people more locally! Kc is a little far for my liking :/

Looking for groups, work out bud, advice??

I live in Fort Smith, only two hours south. We do have a support group here that meets monthly. I haven't been because I am not ready to make my upcoming surgery public knowledge just yet Actually, I would rather attend a meeting out of town so if you find something in the Joplin area let me know.

Hmmm no but 1x or 2x a year we head to Oronogo. G/L setting something up. Do you have a surgeon in the area? Perhaps s/he can put some pamphlets in their office expressing the interest for a support group, if interested please call...

I'm in Springfield. Kinda crazy, but I couldn't even find a surgeon near me that even does sleeves. So I kinda think that there probably aren't too many people in this area that have them.

Im finding gastric bypass support groups in my town which is kinda similar I guess :/

Ill give it a try!

I live in Joplin and was hoping there was a support group around here.

We should look up support groups!! I dont know anyone who's even heard of "The sleeve" lol

You might have to start your own. I'd recommend going to the bypass group together. You might find a couple more sleevers hiding out there.

I know! You mention the sleeve in this area and people just get a puzzled look on their face! I would like to find a gastric bypass group here. The only one I have seen is the mini gastric bypass group.

I think all we have here is a mini gastric bypass support group and it's with the doctor that does it here and they won't let anyone join.

I didn't realize the first MSG went through..lol

We should start our own!! Ill bring the tiny meats & you bring a cheese stick haha

We should start our own! I bet there are more sleevers in this area than we think!

I bet you're right. It's really catching on in the trucking industry. And SW Missouri thrives on trucking.
