Who is your doctor? Many doctors and/or hospitals will have support groups. For instance my doctor - Rosen and Mikhale from Lifeweigh Bariatrics in Downers Grove has a support group for their patients only.

Check into the Kane Center at either Alexian Brothers Medical Center (Elk Grove Village) or their sister hospital St Alexsis in Hoffman Estates. I think that Silver Cross Hospital has a support group and I am sure there are others. Elmhurst Memorial in Elmhurst is just starting a bariatric program.

Good luck to you. Keep us informed as to what is happening with you.

Elmhurst is just starting up their program and have not done any surgery yet. My DH and I are good friends with the head of patient and food services.

Some support groups that are open to the public MAY have a small service fee to attend.
