Question:
Is there a support group in the Wichita, KS area.
I am having open RNY in Junction City, KS but need to go to support group in the Wichita area as that is where I live. Does anybody know of any? Where, when, etc. — Jodi V. (posted on July 8, 2004)

Aloha! Initially when I was in the sheer-hell-waiting phase of my journey
(waited 3 years after insurance approved!), I found a wonderful surgeon in
Wichita Falls, TX who I actually was going to have do my surgery. His name
is Dr. Warnock. He has a fabulous group of people that run both an online
support group on Yahoo and also I believe they all get together from time
to time (if not more regularly). This was a warm bunch of people too! I
ended up having surgery here in Hawaii but I kept in touch with several of
his patients during the past couple of years. One lady I remember
distinctly is Patti. I hope she responds to this message! She is an
absolute doll. If you go to the FIND A DOC link and search under TX, you
will find Dr. Warnock's information. His Coordinator's name is Kathy (if it
is still the same lady). She was wonderful. Hope this helps!! Good luck!!

Hi, There use to be a independent support group but it has kinda fallen
apart again. There are several people in the Wichita area who have had
surgery other places then Wichita. The doctors that do surgery here don't
allow outsiders to attend their support group. If you are able to locate
an open (lets anyone's patient come) support group, I would love to try
attending again.

Hey Joyce, I run a small support group in Hutch...it's at least a little
closer than J.C. A bunch of us are Liv-lite patients too. We meet on the
4th Thursday of the month at 6:30 ISH at the Hospital. Holler at me if you
need any more info...also, Several of us go to the J.C. meeting as well if
you ever need a ride!!!
BIG HUGS,
Deanna K
