Des Moines Area Support Group
Hi Kim. I'm not sure about Mercy, but I'm guessing that they also have a support group meeting. I don't know if they only allow people who had the surgery there or if anyone is welcome to attend. At one of the IA Health meetings, a woman asked a question and said that she had her surgery at Mercy. They told her they didn't really care where she had the surgery, they are there to help everyone.
Would love to meet you some time. I won't be at the Dec. meeting on the 5th, because that's also my office Christmas party. It will be a pot luck at the WLS support group meeting. Wish I could go, but guess I'll have to miss it this year.

I work for Weight Loss Surgical Center, and even though we specialize in LAP-BAND Surgeries, we allow anyone to attend, even if they have had other procedures or were banded by other surgeons. We realize that everyone needs support and may have something helpful to contribute, even if the paths to healthy weight are a little different.
In West Des Moines, we have a support group at our clinic. Here are details:
Des Moines LAP-BAND Support Group, next meeting is Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.
I hope that helps!
