PiggyPantsPaige 10 Posted August 14, 2012 I live in fort scott. Looking for people more locally! Kc is a little far for my liking :/ Looking for groups, work out bud, advice?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Readytolose2012 88 Posted August 14, 2012 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.

Wheetsin 714 Posted August 14, 2012 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted August 15, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PiggyPantsPaige 10 Posted August 23, 2012 We should look up support groups!! I dont know anyone who's even heard of "The sleeve" lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted August 23, 2012 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. 1 PiggyPantsPaige reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tifgrin 6 Posted August 23, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tifgrin 6 Posted August 23, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
