Hi Jennifer,
Where in the Youngstown area are you relocating to? I relocated here last year from western PA. I live in Boardman (just outside of Youngstown. I have a very good PCP in Campbell which is approximately 7 miles from Boardman. My PCP helped me start the process of the WLS. I also know a local surgeon who works out of one of the local hospitals. I have personally had experience with the surgeon on two occasions and have been pleased with the results. I also have just recently started going to a local support group which is open to anyone thinking about WLS, pre-op, or post-op. We meet at the Austintown Denny's on the first Tuesday of every month from 6:00 - 8:00pm. We would be happy to have you and your boyfriend join us. I will gladly answer any of your questions that I can. Just drop me an e-mail. I will answer it as soon as I get it, (probably after my daughter goes to bed tomorrow evening).
Welcome to Youngstown,
Becky D.
