Hi new here

Hi I am an AF wife and have just started the process of getting approved for GB. I am going to have it done at Ft. Collins, CO but I live at Ellsworth AFB. I was wondering does anyone know of a WLS support group in the Rapid City area? I have not found anyone that is aware of one and if not then anyone interested in starting one? Sarah

Hi Sarah, My name is Maghan and I am thinking that you were in my nutrition class a few weeks ago. Am I right? Anyway there is a support group here in Rapid. It takes place at the hospital in the West Auditorium I beilieve and I think that both Dr. Cook (psych) and Dr. Sufficool (surgeon) attend them every once in awhile. I believe that they are the last Monday of every month at 7 ish...but let me check on that. I work at the hospital and I don't go bac****il Tuesday, but I will see the time and date for sure and let you know! Good luck!

Hi Sarah, I'm on the other side of the state in SF so I don't know anything about groups in that area. I do know that this site is a wonderful source of support and welcome to it! Good luck with the approval process. DaniR

Sarah...Sorry I forgot to tell you that you can email me any time at [email protected]....

Thank you Meghan and Danielle. I am so excited about this I am trying to make sure I have everything covered : )

Not a problem. I would liket to go to this meeting myself, but I work during that time, but I am hoping to rearrange my schedule so I can attend. Maybe i will see you there! Take care!

I definately plan on going and I hope I can talk my friend into coming too. I will keep a look out for you : )
