I had Dr. Morales too! He's amazing.

For any of you that had your surgery at Des Peres...Have you attended the support group? I'm 5 months out. I think it might be a good time for me, but I wanted to get an impression of it before I go. I'm busy and don't live close so I'd rather not waste my time if it's a dud.

Thanks in advance.

Is this post still active? I'm from Belleville, IL. I had my sleeve done on 11/11/2015. Does anyone know of an active support group nearby?

Hi. Is this thread still active? I'm from Belleville, IL. Sleeved by Dr Eagon at Barnes 11/2015. I could use a support buddy if you're in the market. Are you attending the BJC support group in West County?

@MissKathy2015 I still respond...lol. I was sleeved by Dr. Ricks at Des Peres on 10/2016. Des Peres has a very active support group, but I don't know if it is open to the public or patients only. I'm always willing to lend an ear. Currently training to run the hot chocolate 15k in December. Sounds more impressive than it is...I'm currently on Day 3 of C25K. What do you like to do to stay active?

I was sleeved at Des Peres, I have never made it to a support group. It is a good 45 minute drive from home and I haven't wanted to make the trip for nothing.

After the kinds of questions people were asking in my pre-op group, I figured the support group would be terrible. I would like to attend though.
