Beckley Support Group

The Beckley Support Group will have it's monthly meeting Monday March 15 7:00 pm in the Raleigh General hospital"s 2nd floor class room. Everyone is invited to attend. Thanks, Debbie S

I emailed a Beckley WLS mailing list in the Bariatric Surgery in Southern WV yahoo group. Is that the same as the Beckley Support Group mentioned here? Do people considering WLS attend the support groups? Are they welcome? I am at the "just thinking about WLS" stage; I have my annual physicial exam this coming Monday (3/22/04) and plan to mention WLS to my doctor & see her opinion. I'm sure she will have to refer me to a WLS physician in order for my insurance to pay even for a consultation. I'd love to attend a support group just to become acquainted with others & learn more about their experiences. Kathy
