Topic: RE: UPSTATE?

Just FYI, the support group meetings for Spartanburg Regional's Surgical Weight Loss Center are open to the public. I can post dates if anyone is interested in attending.

Since it is also a Bariatric Center of Excllence, there must be a medical person present to lead each meeting. There is a set curriculum and handouts so you get great support.

I like going too because it keeps me motivated. Unfortunately, I'm working up north tomorrow and I don't think there's any way I'm going to make it back in time. Maybe I'll see you Friday though !

Topic: RE: UPSTATE?

Thanks. And I understand. I am a patient of dr Bour, and I paid the 2000. (ouch). The way I saw it, now I have support meetings, nut , and psych for life (or as long as they have the center open. One visit to a terapist is $100 + these days. so.... And our support meetings are great. At least once a month we have with the psych, so this is like a group terapy, with most people posituive and very supportive. I know that the $2000 is a lot (and I had to put that on my CC in instalments)

They is also a clinck in anderson, but I am not sure if they have support groups and if they are open to public.

I may have a private meeting in my house, but it would be mostly people 2-3 months post op. You can meet some of "my" group, and see if you may get a friend.
