Hi guys,

I have to miss my support group tonight at SOCH and was wondering what other meetings were out there and when.  I'm south in Manahawkin so anything this way would be great!

Thanks!
Heather

The Ocean County WLS Support Groups have two meetings per month -- one in Toms River and one in Lakewood, although the Toms River meeting is usually much better attended; hence more support!

Good luck on your journey:

Our group members have had their surgeries performed by various WLS surgeons and hospitals, and we are not affiliated with any specific WLS surgeon or hospital.
