Moving to Vegas

My family and I are planning to move to Vegas by the endo f the year. Any info on good support groups out there?

Good question cause I would like to know also.  As far as I know there are none that are open to the public, all the ones that I heard of are for patients of the Drs here in Vegas.  My surgeon is out of Los Angeles so I have no one here also for support.

The place that did my surgery has a support system weekly but I think the idea of getting a group of people together who are either "newies" or "oldies" would be great. I know the lady who I had surgery with would definitely do it and I could ask my doctors office is they'd let me put up a flyer. Now that the weather's nice we could even meet at a park or depending on how many people respond a room at a restaurant! What are your thoughts?

If anything gets put together I would love to join in, let me know!

I've heard rumors that there will be a new support group starting sometime this summer.  It will be based out of St. Rose Hospital (not sure which campus), but it will be open to everyone.  When I get more info, I will be sure to post it here. For anyone who had surgery out of town, I would suggest calling some of the local surgeons and explaining your situation and just asking if you can attend their group session.  You never know, they might just agree!

I am in Henderson and will be getting a lap band in 7 days and I am sure I will need some support and a weekly or monthly group meeting sounds great!

Michelle,  Just wanted to wish you a successful surgery! Dana

It would be nice to have a support group in Henderson I never make it to the otherones the Dr.s office is to far for me to drive to

Thanks for all your input guys, keep me posted.
