New to MO Board

Hey all.  I'm new to the MO board as I moved recently from Detroit to St. Louis.  I hung out on the Michigan Board for several years and thought since I moved to MO, I might as well check out this board.  I'm looking for a support group in the St. Louis area as well as recommendations for a surgeon to continue with my follow-up.  I'm 7 1/2 years out and still feel like to stay on track with my weight loss, it is important to stay connected.  I look forward to getting to know many of you in the future.

 Can't help with St Louis meetings but welcome to the board. It has been slow here lately but hopefully things will pick up.

welcome to the Mo. board.  hope you like us and stay around....we need people that will post and maybe get some of the people to posting again....

Welcome Jon. I know there are groups in the St. Louis area. Dr. De La Torre is there and St. Alexsis hospital does weight loss surgery. There are more I'm sure.
Welcome to Missouri and keep posting.

Dr De La Torre is no longer in St Louis,  Has been gone about 2.5 years.  Is the Medical Director of Surgery of UMC Hosp.  Dr J. Stephen Scott ( Medical Director) and Dr  Mario Morales at at De Paul.

Welcome to this MO boards the most active members seem to know each other in the north and south western part of the State.  I had surgery 11/2/10 - VSG and had it at De Paul.  The support meeting I attended are not very structured but have been pleaseant and educational.  I hve mobility issues and find it VERY difficult to attend as the parking lot is very full and then a LONG hilly walk to the May Center at De Paul.  Welcome.
