Can WLS pre-ops and post-ops tell where they do their support groups.  I will be having surgery in Middletown and driving there for support group right now, but this winter I would like to go to a support group closer to home.  I live in the Montville/Waterford/New London/Groton area and wonder if there is a support group near here.  Thanks for you help. Smiles,

Hi Susan, yes there is a monthly support group meeting held on Wednesday (I believe it's the 3rd Wednesday of each month) at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in New London. Good luck on your surgery! Dr. Aranow is terrific, you are in great albeit small hands! Maureen

Hi, Like Maureen said, there is a support group at L&M hospital once a month.  I've only been one time when Dr Aranow happened to be the speaker.  Many of the patients seem to  be Dr Bell's, but not all.  There is a mix.  It is well moderated by two people there.  I'd say it is worth checking out at least once.  Not so sure your ride would be any shorter, though. Call the hospital and ask for specific dates/times. Paula

Thank you so much for the information.  I will have to check it out.  It is an hour drive to Middletown for me and I'm probably 20 minutes from N.L.  It is nice to know there is a closer meeting. Thanks!!
