I really need to find a support group in the Raleigh area. According to the list, the closest one is in Dunn. There has to be one closer to Raleigh. I had RNY May 2004, went from 361 to 210 and in the last year, I have gained 40 pounds back. Need to find a group to help get back on track. Thanks in advance for the help. Bob

Bob, My Dr. (Dr. Moran in Raleigh) has a support group meeting this month on 6/27 at around 7:30pm at their office. The web site is www.alasurgery.com  He has a seminar for new patients from 6:30-7:30, then the support group meets after that.  I will be going, as my surgery is the 28th of this month! Look forward to seeing you there if you can make it! Lori

Lori - I hope to go to Dr. Morans this month also. We'll finally "really" get to meet each other. I hope alot of people go. Have you been to any of his meetings yet?

Wendy, No I have not, for some reason he does not really push them.  I called to find out when it was.  Have you ever been to one? Lori

Lori- I haven't either. I can't remember what was going on that nite - I have a hard enough time remembering what I watched on tv last nite. LOL Did you see the support group were getting together here in the Raleigh area (Capital Blvd area)? I'll be involved in that and hope you can be also. It should be a fun group!                             .             .

Wendy, I saw that and it will be a crap shoot as to weather I can come or not, my oldest son plays travel baseball, so we are out of town on the weekends a bunch.

Bob, I belong to a support group that meets here in Raleigh on the first Saturday of each month.  We call ourselves the Sweet Tomatoes because we began meeting at the Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant on Capital Blvd.  Our coorindator is Rosemary Berger.  You can reach her at:  [email protected]

I had my surgery on July 18th 2006 so I am coming up to one year out.  The Sweet Tomatoes group has been great for me.  We would love to have you join our support group.  Contact Rosemary and she can add you to the email list for upcoming meetings. Gwen Raleigh, NC
