    Default Looking for in person support near Southeastern CT

    Hi
    I'm Alison and I'm in the approval process for surgery, I don't have a scheduled date yet, but I'm hoping for January. I'm looking a local in person support group. If you know of any groups, please let me know. I went to an OA meeting, but it isn't quite what I'm looking for.
    Thank you

    Your best bet is to find a local hospital that has a bariatric program. They do not usually require you to be in the program to join their support group. We also, in Maryland, have a local facebook group that has in person support meetings. Try to find that in your local area.

    Good luck with the surgery and the program.

    Thank you Greg for the suggestion. Unfortunately none of the hospitals in my area offer bariatric surgery, so I have been unable to find an in person meeting close to home.

    Hi there. I am looking for a gastric sleeve group as well. My dr is 3 hours away and his groups are too far to travel to weekly. If you find a way to search for them lmk please. My surgery is in December. Good luck to you!

    This is not in-person but this is a great support site on the web. There are many knowledgeable people and most are really friendly and very helpful.

    You do have the option of creating a local facebook group. It will start out small but will grow as long as others are nice, the moderators control how things. Our group here in Maryland has a monthly meeting at a members home and the topic is set before the meeting happens.

    You can google "gastric sleeve support group" and your city name and if there are any it should pop up. I found there is one in my area by doing that.
