need a support group

hi i need a support group i live between niagara falls and lockport ny thats in niagara county.... can anyone help??? please sharry

Hi Sharyl, I was trained as a support group leader through Obesity Help. I am on Long Island, but if you click on this link, it is a list of Obesity Help groups in New York: http://www.obesityhelpchapters.com/SupportGpList.php#NY I am not sure how far you may be from one, but it might be a possibility.

Join the WLS of WEstern NY group on yahoo groups. There are lots of Buffalo-area people there and I know there's few regualr support groups running. I know lots of those folks combine with the Rochester people for a big Holiday party and some of the surgeons even attend. Sorry I can't help with specifics.

HI If you need a support group and if you are willing to drive to Rochester this Sunday(2/19) there is a brunch at the Holiday Inn Airport(Brooks Ave exit off 390) at 11am. This was posted on one of the boards. I am still new, had surgery January 3rd but get the impression that they are welcome to all. There apparently is a group from Batavia that is involved so they might be able to connect you with someone. Email me privately and I can give you the woman's email who is organizing it. Liza

thanks for the help sharry
