Can i come to your support group?

I cannot find a support group near me. I am willing to travel to louisville, lexington or just about anywhere.. I have tried elizabethtown, but i can't find any information on their support groups. I am pre-op but i need to join a support group for insurance purposes and also after care. I also need to find a licensed phychiatrist, which I am finding hard to do. thanks so much, Kim

Kim it seems there is one in E-town. Angela Russel or Shirley Wright may know about it. I think it is held at the new gym close to the Home Depot behind the E-town mall. I know there are support groups in Louisville with the Right Weight Clinic. My friend Karen went and was not impressed. You may really enjoy it, we are all different. I think it would be nice to start a support group? I live in Hart county, and several others live in Hardin co. You are too far from any of us. Once a month even would nice. Let me know what you think. Blessings Tonya

I didn't know about a group meeting in Elizabethtown (If anyone has any further information on that I would appreciate it). I know there was a group meeting in Radcliff at the Hardin County Library every third Monday. You might call the library to find out more information. I am planning on attending the Right Weigh support group at Norton Suburban in Louisville tonight. I had my surgery there, but have only attended one support group meeting in the past year. Tonight we are having a Bariatric psychologist discusss --"It's not what you eat--it's what's eating you!"
