Hi, I am Pat from Berlin Center and I am just 6 weeks post surgery, I had the RNY on 1-26-09 at Cleveland Clinic.  I know that the support is really important as I had previous surgery in the 80 and no support and now I am a revision....would like to know of group also.  so far I have to go back to the Clinic for all my routine checks    I find it supportive to read these post and watch the up date of other peoples success..  Pat

Dr Chlysta has one this Tuesday at AGMC. It is a very well run meeting. He has an informational seminar at 6 and then people who have had WS surgery and those scheduled,have a support meeting afterward at 7. Hope to see you there.

Elisa,
The Summa support group is this Wednesday evening. I am sure you are welcome to attend. It is a nice group, usually 40-50 folks, about 80% RNY and 19% lapband with a few DS. Here's the announcement for this week's meeting...
