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.

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. :(

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
