THe only one I know of is in Cincinnati at www.imnotfatanymore.com. Meets this friday at 7 pm and I know that is a long drive for you. What you might want to do is check with your doctors office or health ins to see who else does surgery in the Lima area and contact them to see if anyone wants to start a support group. Many hospitals and possibly even the YMCA will let you use a room for free. Just a suggestion. Email me if you want to discuss this further or you need tips on how to start one.

Hello! I run a Midwest Region Weight Loss Support Group, but our next meeting isn't until September. We are located in the Detroit area and welcome anyone who wants to come and be with us! :~) If you are interested in receiving our newsletter and info about meetings, just email me! :~) Hugs!! Sharon I know Detroit is kinda far, but... we have people who drive 8-10 hours to get here. We schedule meetings for Saturday afternoons just so people can drive in...! :~)
