This support group has already been mentioned upthread (but it was in a link to a document) so I'm just calling it out for any local Seattle area patiences. Our group is a Dr. Rabkin group as well though he's not been up to visit in awhile. We meet every second Saturday in Tukwila WA at the Sizzler. It was founded as DS specific but all surgery types are welcome. You can learn more at: www.meetup.com/wls-90/Or you can message me.

I have been going to the Winthrop Hospital Support Group in Mineola NY, excellent and well run but there program does not do DS so I am a little out of place I think, but Elizabeth who runs it is awesome and does a great job.
They meet 1st and 3rd Wed's at the knights of Columbus hall on Jericho take. 6-7 pre and post, 7-8 post op only.
if anyone needs more info please let me know

Hey Group,i need helppp In fact i have done my surgery 10 years ago while i was only 19.at that time i was 275 lb,but i did not get acceptable response after surgery ,even i gain weight during hospital stay while i was on iv fluid.now i am 202 lb.my doctor did not give me any advise i even end with severe osteoporosis which is under control now. I have started bariatric supplements and i am fine now,but my problem is my weight and abdominal cramps and intestinal distention.i feel my intestinal loops by touching my abdomen ,i am so desperate but still i have hope to loose weight by help of my surgery.i am happy that i find this group and i request for your support and advice. Thanks Welcome. I am not an expert but some of your problem may be what you are eating. Were you told any foods to avoid? Some of us get the cramps and other issues when we eat to many simple carbs IE sugar wheat etc. Also you will absorb all of the calories from them thus slowing your weight loss down. We need to be eating high protein and low carb. Also this is the wrong place to post this.....when I read this I was assuming that you had the DS surgery when in fact you never said what surgery that you had.....go look at the forum sections and post this in the correct area for the surgery that you had and you should get more replies. Deleting the original post as a duplicate from another area has already been moved to Introductions. Moving this post to Introductions as well: weightlosssurgery.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=106&page=12

Houston groups - ? Is anyone aware of any groups in Houston, especially for DS patients? I'm finding it very strange that I've searched this board for Houston and have come up with nothing, no listings for surgeons or support groups in Houston.

Hi Gary, not sure about Dr. Stewart's FB group; but can I suggest you make a new post on the DS board that says something like - Looking for DS support/Baton Rouge/LA area, something like that and hopefully that will generate some response too. Have you tried contacting Dr. Stewart's office to see who administers his FB page, see what the issue might be? And until then, feel free to post questions here, we even have other dudes on here who can respond too I am a Dr Stewart DS patient. The link For facebook (DFW) does not work .Is this group still active ? Thanx for your help. I'm lonley here in Baton Rouge , La area Gary
