I belong to a support group through the clinic where I had my surgery. It's about 45 minutes to an hour away from Whitehall. Check with the local hospitals (Lehigh Valley is the biggest one up there I think) and see if they have anything. Good luck on your search!

Easton Hospital in Easton, Pa...They are held 2 times a month. You can call Mandy the Bariatric Coordinator @ 610-250-4116 and her voice mail will tell you the upcoming dates. Easton is about 20 mins. away from Whitehall. Hope this helps you. Tammy

Madiline, If you can't find a support group in your area, there is a On-Line Chat Room Support Group at: "www.denverbariatrics.com". It is from 8PM to 9PM MST on the first and third Wednessday of every month. If you are in EST-that would be 6PM to 7PM. It is open to everybody, not just our patients. It is a very active group. It is even great to have if you do have a support group as an added support. There is a Nurse Practioner/Nutritionist, a PA and a Surgeon that take turns on it, so there is medical staff that you can ask questions to. It is great!
