Hello from California...

HI, I'm trying to help my cousin in Portland find a support Group in Portland. Not just an "informational" type, but a true support group for Pre & Post Op people. He is pre-op, but I want him to get hooked up with a GREAT support group. I am 10 wks post op and attend an awesome group and know how important it is. So far he's only found one's that give more "pre-op" information. Can anyone help? Thanks so much, Pam RNY 5/13/04 263/213

Hi Pam. I'd like to know the answer to your question too. My surgeon does not have a support group system. I had my RNY because of stomach cancer, but I still could use a support group. This ObesityHelp is the closest thing I have found, and it is really good. I wish your cousin well, and you too! Peggy RNY 4/27/04 274/228

Well, I'm on the opposite end of the state, but I know there are a bunch of folks from this message board that get together from time to time. Does she have internet access where she could get on here? Dina
