I just wanted to see if there are any support groups in the Green Bay or Shawano area. I am also interested in finding someone to work out with in Shawano.

The only support group I know of is through the Bellin Bariatric Center at Bellin hospital in Green Bay but, I'm not sure if they are open to the public or only people who go through their program.  If you find any other support groups let me know.  I had my surgery 02/09/09 and know of no supports in the Green Bay area.

Dr. Kemmerling holds a support group in green bay.  I believe the next one is march 10th it is very informative.  It is located @ his office on Cormier road.  You could probably call his office to get all of the details.

Thank you for the replies.

I go to Total Fitness and see a personal trainer there weekly. After talking to her about the gastric bypass, she said she has a few other people that come there that have had the surgery. She has decided to meet with Dr. Johnson and Dr. Kimmerling in Green Bay and then starting up her own support group in Shawano. So if there is anyone out there who is interested, please contact Debbie at Total Fitness.

I had my surgery through Bellin Bariatric, but im pretty sure the support groups are open to the public (or someone who didnt go through Bellin) I started going to them prior to my surgery..
One of the meetings is usually with  guest speaker on a topic- nutrition, fitness, plastic surgery, balance, etc.. and then the other is a group meeting- general discussion.  I went to one with a speaker, but there was still alot of group discussion as well. very nice group!
