Charlotte Support Groups
I went to the one at Presybeterian last night and that is the third monday of the month. The NUT who was there mentioned that the clinc she works at has meetings all the time She was from Southeast Bariatrics and I think she said there meetings are open to all patients no where they had surgery.
I am sure that one of teh EXPERTS here will read this and give you a list, they are fabulous and very knowledgable
