Support Group Meetings

I'm just wondering how many folks regularly attend the monthly support group meetings sponsored by your doctor?

Do you find them to be helpful?

Why do you or don't you go?

E-Girl you are so right! It takes me 45 minutes to get down there, so I am not sure I'll make it to the support groups either! I would like to try to go to one or two though. Congrats on 94lbs!!!
