Question:
Dr. wants me to find local support group, please suggest one in Philadelphia PA.

Can anyone recommend a support group in Philadelphia PA? More specifically can anyone recommend a support group in Northeast Philadelphia.    — mdjacobs (posted on November 13, 2002)

Yahoo groups hosts many online local support groups for WLS. Here is the link for one in the Philly area. I hope it is as great as the one we have here in San Antonio TX. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ossg-philly/ Best of luck to you!
