New to this site!!

 I live in Wake Forest.  My surgery was August 4th.  I am looking to meet people in my area, I hope this is a good way.  I go to the support group that my surgeon has twice a month.  Are there other support groups in the area that you would suggest?? Also I am curious if anyone uses a nutritionist since they had their surgery and if it has helped.  Thanks

Welcome to the group! You'll get lots of great info here.

Hi,

Yes there are quite a few support groups in the area.  There is a group in Raleigh that meets on Saturdays.  The next one is Oct 22.  Barbara Cumbo is the leader.  She actual has it as a Meetup.  I don't know if you have been to that site, www.meetup.com or not.  But you can bring it up by typing in their, find a meetup, One Step at a Time.  You can also talk to Barbara by sending her a message in OH.

I have a Durham group but hers may be closer.  Hope to meet you soon.

Hi, 

As several have mentioned, I have a support group that meets in North Raleigh. 

I hold a monthly general meeting. The next general meeting is Oct 22. I also have several special interest groups which meet on Thursday evenings. You are welcome to attend any group meeting; it doesn't matter if you don't fit the 'demographic' of the group, you are welcome to come. We are actually meeting this evening in Brier Creek and you are welcome to join us.

You can get information and RSVP for meetings at http://www.meetup.com/nc-wls 

You can also PM me if you would like to talk with me privately. I'll be glad to talk with you 1:1 or via private messaging.

I look forward to getting to know you,
