looking for support group meeting...

I have a friend living in Martinsburg, looking for a support group...can anyone direct us? cheers deb

There is a Mt State weight-loss support group at CAMC Women's and Children's hospital in Charleston.

Charleston is a 5 or 6 hour ride from Martinsburg! Yikes! There were a few other Martinsburg folks on this list looking for a local support group not long ago... You can view the conversation at http://beta.obesityhelp.com/forums/WV/postdetail/2367.html?vc=0 I suggested that they already had (with the 3 or 4 of them) the start of their own support group and that maybe they should look into starting something locally... I am doing the same in my area of central WV (Braxton Cty). Also, if I remember correctly, aren't you reasonably close (like not a terrible driving distance) from the DC area? Perhaps you could check out the state board for that area and see what you can find about support groups over that way? Does your doctor know of any somewhat local groups? I know that my surgeon has a support group in Charleston, in addition to Dr. Shin's group (as was mentioned above). Then, my surgeon's office has been working to set up groups in other areas like Parkersburg, Beckley, etc. But, I know that they don't do anything in your area... Sure wish I could help more!

Susan: I am in Parkersburg. I had my surgery 9-19-06. Dr. Stickler in Charleston did mine. Welcome to the Loosing Side. Peg Miller
