My name is Trisha Schnatterly and I am just starting an OH certified support group in McMinnville. We have been meeting informally at the hospital (room closest to the cafeteria) at 6:00 PM the first Thursday of the month....that will be in 2 days.
Over the next few months we will also be starting programs within the support group that deal with all aspects of weight loss surgery. I do hope you will take the opportunity to join us this Thursday evening.
