Support groups here in kc Mo North area

Just wanting to know if there are any support groups for gastric bypass here in KC MO Northland area?

There is one, but I think it's in Independence/Blue Springs area. I live up by KCI and would love to have a group out here.  If you find one let me know. 

Take care,

Trudy

Trudy hi,      This is Kerri and I live close to Antioch mall and would love to start a support group.  How does one do it?  I know of at least one other person who would love a group up north.  How about it.  I am having surgery on the 31 of July and so I am pre surgery but would still love to talk to those who have had the surgery or are having it. Blessings to ya,   Kerri

Hi Kerri!  I'll check it out and see what we need to do.  I'm on disability so I'm home all day.  I'll get the info and we can go from there.  Is Saturday or Sunday better for you.  Once I have the info I'll post on here to recruit more losers

Saturdays are best for me.  I am very involved in my church and it takes most of my day on Sunday.  Talk to you later and hope to meet with you soon. Blessings,    Kerri

I'm interested in a Kansas City North group.  Thanks, Donna

Donna hi,      This is Kerri and I just sent trudy a e-mail and would love to start a group here.  Do you know if there are certain rules needed to follow?  Love to see ya and have you in the group.  Where about do you live.  I am close to Antioch mall. Blessings, Kerri

Hi Kerri,  Maybe we could do a post on the main forum for getting a group started and what does a group need to do.  We could follow another group's guidelines.  I'm sure there are plenty of experienced folks who are willing to come talk to us from time-to-time.  With the price of gas, we could keep it so we wouldn't have to cross the river.  I live by Worlds of Fun.  Cassie L. would also be interested.  Let me know how I can help.  I am presurgery.  My file is still sitting on someone's desk and won't be submitted until this week or next.  Wahhhh.  Talk to you soon.  Donna

Hi Donna and Kerri, As far as starting a support group in your area--you're free to do so.  There wasn't one close to me so  started one.  We have about 5 or 6 people who attend---I just posted a dateand meeting place on here and they showed up and we've had two meetings so far.  You can apply to be a support group leader through OH but they do have a very structured program--ours is not sponsored by OH so that we are free to talk about whatever or do whatever we'd like--it's very laid back and relaxed.  Hope you all can get one going soon.  Take care. ~Angie!

I should have addressed that post to all of you who are looking to start a support group lol
