Charlotte Support Groups??

My sister will be having surgery this summer with Roc Bauman, MD.  Are there any support groups in the Charlotte-Matthews area that she could hook up with? 

Southeast Bariatrics holds one the 2nd Monday of every month @ 6:30 held at the Cornwell Center. Also they hold one the 2nd Saturday of every month @ 11:30 (this one is focused more on the band) All are open to any doctor's patients and surgeries.  Presbyterian has one....can't recall the date but I think it's on a Monday or Tuesday night. CMC holds one also again can't say when but I have heard they have one. Good Luck to your sister!!!!

Presbyterian has theirs the third Monday of every month from what i have been told at 630.

Yep, the next meeting at Presby Charlotte will be 3/17 I think. I wish they had one in Matthews. There is one in Monroe which I think I am closer to but I have met so many people on here that go to the Charlotte one, so I think it will be worth a try. This will be my first time.

Carolina Weightloss  - where Dr. Bauman is - has a support group the first Tuesday night of each month at 6pm.  Which I did miss tonight due to the weather.  They welcome anyone to come if you are thinking about surgery, had surgery, or scheduled for surgery, or even wanting to do research.  It is held at NorthEast Medical Center in Concord.  Tonight's class was to be about reading labels and I really hate that I missed it.  But driving from Gastonia in that horrible weather wasn't gonna be fun, so I do hope that if anyone went they can share with me.   She is welcome to come...  anyone is!  :-)    Diane the nutritionist with that practice also usually is the one that leads the meetings.  If you want more information I can direct you to the website with articles and upcoming month's programs.  Just let me know.   Connie

Thanks everyone!   I knew you would come through with some good information for me.  

Thanks Sis!!!! and thank you to all responders! Hope to meet you all soon.
