Support group meetings?

I am very nre to all of this and am still in the first stages of having WLS, I will be asking my PCP today if he would/will approve me for the surgery! *crossing finger* My questions is, does anyone know of where and when they have meetings in York county area? Or do you know how I could find out this info??? Much appreciated, Lynn

Hi Lynn: Welcome aboard! I do not know who your surgeon is but mine is Dr. Cobean and I attend support meetings on Route 1 in Scarborough at 100 Campus Drive - on the right just before you go past the old Humpty Dumpty factory. I believe if you have a surgeon in Biddeford or down that way, they have another support meeting. Hope this is a little help. Dot

I am leaning towards Dr. Georgitis in Biddeford, mostly because everthing I read about him was soooo positive! I know of one other also in Biddeford, but he doesnt have many for feedback. I guess when I call them, if my PCP says OK, then I can ask them huh lol Thanks, Lynn
