Looking for a support group near Chaffee County, CO

I will be moving to Buena Vista, Colorado mid to late August. I had my surgery (lap RNY) 18 months ago at George Washington University Hospital (Washington, DC). My wonderful surgeon is Dr. Juliet Lee and we have a super support group that meets 1st and 3rd Wednesdays. Dr. Lee does not know any surgeon to refer me to out West, and I know I will sort of be in the "boonies", but I would like to find a good surgeon for my followup care and an active support group that I could attend at least once a month (I would drive 50 to 100 miles if need be). I know I can always use this network, but I seem to thrive on the personal, face to face contact. I have been very successful and fortunate to have no real problems with anything physical, but of course I have the "head issuses" that all formerly morbidly obese person deal with, thus the need for the continued support. Thanks for any information!
