Question:
I was wondering if anyone would like to form a support group in Philadelphia

, if not already started. I am currently in the very beginnings of starting the WLS process and would like a few local peer, or anyone looking for help as well, to form a support either online or in meeting groups.    — Irene M. (posted on April 20, 2002)

Hello, Irene: I live in Montgomery County, PA, and too have just started the WLS search process. I would be interested in conversing with you on-line to compare findings. I am having trouble locating many Bariatric Surgeons in the Philadelphia area. If you would like to correspond and share information please let me know. Thank you. Sandy
