I live in Fort Smith, only two hours south. We do have a support group here that meets monthly. I haven't been because I am not ready to make my upcoming surgery public knowledge just yet :) Actually, I would rather attend a meeting out of town so if you find something in the Joplin area let me know.

Hmmm no but 1x or 2x a year we head to Oronogo. :) G/L setting something up. Do you have a surgeon in the area? Perhaps s/he can put some pamphlets in their office expressing the interest for a support group, if interested please call...

I'm in Springfield. Kinda crazy, but I couldn't even find a surgeon near me that even does sleeves. So I kinda think that there probably aren't too many people in this area that have them.

You might have to start your own. I'd recommend going to the bypass group together. You might find a couple more sleevers hiding out there.

I know! You mention the sleeve in this area and people just get a puzzled look on their face! I would like to find a gastric bypass group here. The only one I have seen is the mini gastric bypass group.

I think all we have here is a mini gastric bypass support group and it's with the doctor that does it here and they won't let anyone join. :(

We should start our own! I bet there are more sleevers in this area than we think!

I bet you're right. It's really catching on in the trucking industry. And SW Missouri thrives on trucking.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
