Pittsburgh Support Groups

I'm looking for a support group in Pittsburgh (not suburbs) that is open to any WLS patient. Since I'm a full time student out here, and am covered under my mother's insurance, I had to have the surgery back home (Lower Bucks) and due to distance can't attend support groups there. Any help would be great.

Magee Has a support group meeting on the first wednesday of each month, i believe it is at 6pm.  Try calling the Weight Management center for any questions at 412-246-6472.  I believe that there are support groups also at Upmc shadyside, and maybe some other places.  Here is the link to UPMC Weight management center.  www.upmc.com/SERVICES/WEIGHTMANAGEMENTSERVICES/OURPROGRAMS/W EIGHTMANAGEMENTCENTER/Pages/default.aspx

I am getting close to the end of my 6 month pre-op program but have not yet been able to attend a support group meeting.  I am hoping to be able to make it there this week though but its rough with my schedule...i need to make time though, for ME!

Hi, west penn has a support group that meets the third monday of the month in the Wintergarden Room. across from the cafeteria.  It starts at 6pm.  I haven't been to one yet, but plan on going to the one this month
