St. Louis area support groups?

[Angeladarling 0]

I recently moved to St. Louis and would like to find a local lap-band support group. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am living in Maryland Heights. I was banded June 28, 2007. I may need a fill but need to find a local doc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello - I'm planning my surgery with Dr. Wagner at Heart of America Bariactrics - it's in south county. They may be able to assist you.

But your closest bet might be either DePaul hospital in Bridgeton (Dr. Del a Tore) or at De Pere Hospital, both are just off I-270. They would be closest to your location in Maryland Heights. Hope this helps

Hi, I am a patient of Dr. Minkin at Des Peres Hospital. I know they have support groups that meet twice a month. Take care, Heidi
