Question:
Are there any support groups in Odessa TX?

I just moved to the area and have been post op for 14 months. I would like to attend a support group if possible.    — lisawheeler (posted on August 30, 2004)

Hey Lisa, My name is Marilayne Millwood and Im almost 2 years out. While I had my surgery in Lubbock and do have a support group there, I prefer not to travel and attend the one at Medical Center Hospital. They have in the last year added a bariatric dept. They meet on the third thursday of each month at 6:30 in the nurses resource room (i think that is what it is called) Call the bariatric center at MCH and speak to Linda Hamm, she can help you. I find it really encouraging to myself to be able to encourage others, most are going to have it or are still brand new. There are a few that had it somewhere else and go to. If you want, email me. Welcome to Odessa, glad to have you. Marilayne.
