Chicago1962 125 Posted November 24, 2012 I was at Alexian Brothers also. Dr Kane. Great experience. Those of you in the area - when and where do you attend support group? And even if you don't attend - can you tell me where some support groups meetings are at? The one for the Kane Center is only on Sat AM and that's not a good time for me. I'd like to meet with people who have had WLS. Thanks. Morten's mom - would you like a visitor? I don't live too far and I'm off work. I'd be happy to stop by on day two if you like. I'm rootin for ya!!!! Amy (Buffalo Grove) 1 notmeanymore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
