Support Group
Beverly,
The Midwest Bariatric support group meets at the Hilton hotel in Oak Lawn, IL on 95th & ****ro ave (entrance to conference room is in the back of hotel off of 95th street) - all are welcome regardless of where or who did your surgery. This is the meeting I attend.
They meet the 1st Wednesday of every month (tonight there is a meeting - no charge).
They also have Tuesday night meetings for post-ops ($10 charge). I haven't been to any of these yet as I have been working some majorly long hours at work and too tired - but I try to attend the monthly meetings as often as I can.
The website info is as follows for tonights meeting and also the regular schedule for 2005:

I live in Midlothian..... I won't be going tonight because I don't like driving in the snow and from what the weatherman says its going to be ICKY!!!
Feel free to email me anytime if you need to chat - maybe we can meet up at one of the meetings.
Good Luck
Peggy
