Is There Anyone In The St. Louis Area?

Hi I'm 27 and live in Alton, IL. My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 27th (Dr. Eagon, Wash U), I'm getting a little nervous. Is there anyone in the area that is going through or has gone through this? My family and friends are suportive, but it would be nice to talk to someone who truly understands. I need a sleeve buddy! :)

      I've been to a couple of support groups and met some very nice people, just none close to me. My surgeon is Dr. Eagon @Wash U...surgery date Sept 27th

    i live in upstate New York so i can't help you :(

    your Dr/NUT should have a list/area of support groups in your neck of the woods. you'll meet other nice pre-op and post-op sleevers.

    will be nice to meet people in your same boat - but very helpful to meet sleevers that have had the WLS and can help with info/answers to questions

    good luck

    best wishes
