In a couple of months. Nashville is where it looks like I'll be ending up and was wondering if there are a lot of support groups in the area and also if anyone knows if there is a Curves near there.

Welcome to Nashville. I have visited several support groups! Nashville is a large place and I am sure you will find lots to do.

Welcome to Nashville!!! As hollykim mentioned there are many support groups at the three Centers of Excellence (Vanderbilt Center for Surgical Weight Loss, Centennial Center for Obesity and Baptist Hospital Metabolic Surgery Center). All have great programs and great support groups associated with them that are open to everyone, no matter whether you had surgery there or not. My wife and I lead a Post-Op support group for Vanderbilt that is fairly new, but has a good and growing following. Keep an eye on the boards here, as most of the group post reminders of the meeting times.

Good luck, it's a great town to live in (coming from a guy who lived in Las Vegas).

I moved here from Valencia, CA 5 years ago and its been great (except for the humidity). I had my surgery a month ago at Vanderbilt and they've been great. What's the reason for the move?
