Support groups

I would love to attend a group meeting in the Charleston area. Are there any in this area. My Dr. is Robert Shin. If there isn't would anyone like to start one. I am a believer in the power of a group to help with questions and advice. If there is one would someone give me the day and time and place it is held. Thank you, Beth

Hi Beth! Dr. Shin's office has a support group every month. You can view their calendar on their YahooGroup at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bariatric_Surgery_of_Southern_WV/ You are also welcome to attend our monthly meetings in Beckley. Our next one is May 21. You can see our schedule and get directions on our website at http://www.geocities.com/beckleywlssg/. Hope this helps! Beth [email protected]

Thank you Beth, but I don't think I can make the Beckley meetings. I will get with Dr. Shinns staff and try to find one of their meetings. I just like getting all the input I can before I have the surgery. I'm just starting out on my journey. I'm in my 3rd month of my weight study. Thank you again and if I have any questions, you will probably be the one I ask. Thank you, Beth Madison, WV

Great!  Feel free to email me anytime with any questions!  I'd love to talk with you! Beth
