dfwtxfemme 3 Posted October 18, 2012 I'm in Arlington and trying to pick a surgeon I've been to doctor Kim and I'm set to go to doctor Nicholson... but I would love to have a bariatric support group thats local in the Metroplex I don't have anyone that is very supportive of this... it would be great to have some workout buddies, I know doctor Kim has a support group it only meets once a month it would be good just to have some women to sit with n go through everything together and even sit and plan together especially to lean on during pre diet and post op... Brneyd79@gmail.com hope to meet some of you... I'm trying to decide right now between a sleeve or bypass... I just don't want to do this alone my mom says to do Weight Watchers for 6 months, cut carbs blah blah... as if I haven't tried all of that over and over again.... no 1 in my family has a weight problem and they just don't get it, they think they're being helpful but their comments really are negative Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
