Anyone near pittsburgh
I am from the Latrobe area which is about 45 minutes from Pittsburgh. I have a set surgery date for September 16th. I am having some issues with pre-op testing which is depressing me but hopefully everything works out in the end. How are you doing? Did the forums help you prepare for the surgery and there after?
congrats on your upcoming surgery dates. I just always see philly people posting and I wanted to know if there are any support groups or anything in pittsburgh area.. or closer if possible. I may want to go to a few. I am still stalled and it's driving me crazy. It's been a little more than two weeks. UGH its so frustrating and so depressing. I am starting to come to terms with the fact that i really may never loose any more weight.

Hi! I am doing great! How about you? I have not been to any of the support groups since my surgery. I noticed before my surgery that there were not too many sleeve patients at the meetings. Do you go? Are there more of us?
