I'm moving to Staunton in July and I was wondering if there are any bariatric support groups in that area. I'm 6-months RNY post-op. Thanks.

Hi, Kim! I think I am one of 2 staunton people who frequent this board. We don't have a support group here at this time, but you can go to the one at UVA (I think), and we have frequent Meet, Greet, & Eat get-togethers in Charlottesville. I will send you my phone # so you can get in touch if you want! JoAnn

Hiya Kim I live in Staunton and am currently pre op and hope to have surgery some time this fall. There is a great support group at UVA Medical Center that I go to once a month, every second Thursday. Its only about 30 minutes away if that and its very helpful even pre op Also I am sure Melinda aka Miss Prissy will give you all kinds of info about the Meet and Greet that usually take place in Charlottesville that a bunch of us get together and talk about everything and anything. Feel free to message me anytime and good luck on your journey
