Please I need a support group badly! I love everyone here, but I need to see people and also have topics being covered. On here it is alot of hit and miss on subjects.

Does anyone know of a group close to me? I had my surgery in Charlestown, IN, just north of Louisville but that is a 2hr drive one way.

Thanks everyone,
Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,
         I hear what you are saying about needing a support group close to you.  I am from Hopkinsville, had my surgery in Louisville May 09.....  I am down over 200 lbs and am starting to worry.  For me to go to the support group at Nortons is 3 hours one way.   I know that there was a group that met at the hospital here but I am told that they are no longer here.  Am still looking into if they have just moved from the hospital ( the lady was from Clarksville) or if they are still meeting.  If I hear something I will let you know though.  Good luck.

Hey Guys/sorry Ladies,
 The lady you talked about from Dawson Springs isn't doing groups anymore. There was some fallout from the folks trying to start their business with the group being their first clients. This also happend in Princeton and Eddyville! Without stirring the pot anymore that's why I only made it to one meeting. Now with that out of the way... I had my surgery at Gateway in 2008, we have a support group that meets on the last Monday of every month. We would be glad to have you. I know this would probably be too far from madisonville but it's not that far from Hoptown. I know I haven't posted in quite awhile but life has been a blast!!!!!! Surgery was in Oct. 2008 and I feel wonderful. These meetings help us stay motivated you need them trust me!!!! By the way I'm down 216lbs and maintaining. If you need anymore info. just call the bariatric nurse at Gateway her name is Heather Watson she's a good nurse and will give you all the information you need. Her # is9315021465
                                                                        Good luck, Don

Cynthia. I am from Henderson, and there is a support group in Evansville. They have a group for patients that had their surgery at that hospital, and they have a group for people that had their surgery elsewhere.

There is a lady from Indiana that started a group on OH, called the Evansville In group. On that site they have a list of dates, on their blogs, for the meetings in Evansville. They have it one month at St Marys and the next month at Deaconess.

I am going to try to go to all I can, because I have hit a 2 month stall by eating all the things I shouldn't. I know need help, and I suppose to an extent, we all need help and support. Send me a message if you need to know more....John
Don't blame me. I voted for Sarah......
