I was sleeved in MX in December and am looking for a local support group or would be willing to host a local support group for this area! Anyone out the interested or know of any place nearby that has one?

I don't know of any but I am just waiting on my insurance approval. But I am in St. Louis and would be willing to go if you find one.

Haven't found one yet, but my sister and daughter have all had wls and we support each other, but would be great to have others to share this with!!! Good luck to you, and keep me posted.

I live across the river in IL and am looking for support also. Just got my surgery scheduled for March 4th. I know my doctor has a monthly support group to attend, however, unsure if it's open to everyone.

Fifty and Hippy: Congrats on your surgery date. My daughter had her surgery at Barnes, but she had the RNY. I live in O'Fallon, IL so I am also on this side of the river:)

I would be willing to attend Eagon's support group if it's open to everyone else..or if you'd rather, I would love to meet you and go from there. My sister had the sleeve as well so we are all kind of sailing this together. I'm 52 my sis is 58 so we are all of a like age and prob with the same issues (don't we all!!)

Let me know, coz it's been helpful talking with my family, but someone new with new insight would be great.

Ann in st louis, hi! Sorry I am behind on my sight. So exciting to see you and your sister on here. I will ask about dr eagon's support groups. They also have them on wed's now. I will call tomorrow and let you know. I am getting nervous and excited. I am having my surgery @ Barnes West. I have to be there by 5:30am so will be getting up around 3:30am. I will be tired without the anesthia, lol. Enough about me, how are you doing?

Hi - sorry for the late response but just stumbled across this thread. My surgery date is Sept 4 at DePaul. They have a support group that meets every third Wednesday of the month at 5:30. I forget the room number but I bet if you called they'd provide. Perhaps we will meet up there one day!!

I live in OFallon IL and work in STL. Was sleeved on March 25, 2013 at DePaul. Support group meets in the May Center.
