Are there any NJ support groups out there?

I'm looking for a support goup in NJ, Monmouth or Middlesex County? Does anyone know of one? My doctor is in Staten Island and they have a support group but I was hoping for one closer.

Hello Novbeginner....I live in Massachusetts so unfortunately I can't help you with a physicial support group in NJ but there is a NJ forum here at LBT that has wonderful people in it. I know it's not the same as meeting in person but, it definately helps. Plus this post will help bump yours up so maybe someone will see it on this Monday, President's day Holiday :wub:

Good luck

Mehta Bariatrics has a monthly support group in New Brunswick, NJ. You can google them to get the information.

Check your local hospitals, they should be able to help you.

Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ has a monthly support group. I don't know the dates, but I think they are one Monday a month. Overlook has a phone directory of groups and when they meet. Give them a call. K.

Hi, I go to NJ Bariatrics Support Group. They used to be in Princeton Junction but are now in Plainsboro. They are affiliated with Univ. of Princeton Medical Center and Dr. Chau is great. There is a seminar for newbies on May 27th at the hospital and the support group meets the first Wednesday of every month at the new Plainsboro office.

Hope to see you there!:thumbup:
