Anyone from Edwardsville or surrounding area?

I just moved to Edwardsville to attend school and was wondering if there are any support groups in the area. Any information would be helpful! Carrie 265/185/150 Surgery 9/15/05

Carrie.. I use to live very near you in Collinsville, there is a support group at Southwestern Illinois College, they meet once a month. If you do a search on Roster of Members.. Look for Sheryl Rittenhouse she can give you all the info you need. Debby

Hi Carrie... I live in Holiday Shores and I havent been able to find a local support group. I have heard from others in the area but no one has been able to start up a group for the Edwardsville area. If you do find a local support group please email and let me know the details. Thanks! Dawn

hi carrie, i'm from staunton, about 20 minutes north of you if you're not familiar. although i've never been, i have contact info for a person from the swic group. it's over an hour's drive for me, so i usually just go to the one sponsored by my program in springfield instead. the contact person is jeannie rowe and here's her email. [email protected] but... when i was reading this, i thought that maybe some of us from this area might just like to get together once in awhile to talk also, even if not as a formal support group. i know i could use that from time to time. any of you interested? let me know! tracy

Oh my God tracy you look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
