Help, need a support group
I live in middle Tenn on Monteagle Mountain...between Chatt and Nashville, so there is nothing close to me...but I know there is a Dr in Murfreesboro or Shelbyville doing bariatric surgery...have you tried calling the hospital where you live and asking if a support group meets there??? BTW, before I changed surgery type, I was a patient of Dr. Clements. Do they have an active support group you could join or it is too far for you...Good luck!!!
Check the Obesity Action Coalition - there is a list of support groups searchable on their website. Also, a lot of people use Overeaters Anonymous. You can also find a list on their website.

There is a support group at the Murfreesboro hospital in the Seton building. The associated surgeons are Dr. Westmoreland and Dr. Eckles.
Call Anne Marie at 615-396-4965. She's a RN who had RNY a few years ago and now leads the support groups. She'll be able to point you to the schedule. Most of the groups are held at 5 PM, but one a month is held at 9 AM.
Hope to see you there sometime!
