Support Groups

Just wondering if anyone knows of any support groups located in Northern Pinellas? Oldsmar, Palm Harbor or Tarpon Springs would be great, my surgeon is located in St. Pete and I was wondering if any support groups were closer to where I live.

Thanks

there is a support group that meets once a month that is a collection of patients from Dr. Small and one other Dr. I believe that it is based out of Meese-Dunedin hospital, but they hold the meetings in the clearwater/palm harbor area certain months. I would just call the dunedin hospital for information

Kelly girl,  I don't know about North Pinellas, but I would like to tell you about one my Fiance and I are starting in Tampa.  It will not be tied to any one surgeon or surgery type, it will be an out of the hospital active group.  We want to try to get people together to walk together, and exercise together, the place we will be meeting has a commercial kitchen we can use for WLS  friendly cooking classes.  We are looking to be more supportive and a closer group, with our Own O.H. group and Face book group, for ongoing support between live meetings.  Check us out, join and join in, either one or both the groups, and if you like I will be more than happy to let you know when our first live meeting is.

Our New O.H. group is:
