Tiffykins 673 Posted January 14, 2010 Welcome and congrats on getting your date ! ! ! I'm not familiar with your location, but I found a couple of support groups for bariatric patients at the local hospitals that perform bariatric surgery. The meetings were open to any and all patients regardless of where their surgery was performed. Best wishes, and keep us updated on your progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
