Hi my name is Lenore I am going to get gastric bypass surgery and I was wondering about a group that I can join. I live in Lebanon il and do anyone know about joining a group pleas let me know.

In Indiana, there is a center of excellence for weight loss surgery located in Indianapolis. That hospital not only has a complete staff of surgeons, nutritionists and other specialist. They also sponsor Bariatric Surgery Support Group meetings throughout the state.

So you might touch base with the hospital where your surgery will be performed and query if they also sponsor or know of local area support groups meetings. Generally these meetings occur once per month and are free.
