Question:
Are there any support groups in Richmond VA ?

If not how is one formed. My surgeon is in DC and I will not be able to go to the support meetings post op because I work nights and even if I didn't there is no way I would make it to DC by 7pm leaving Richmond at 5.    — davesband1 (posted on June 2, 2004)

the 2nd Thursday of every month at St. Mary's hospital. (Corner of Monument and Libbie) Also VCU/MCV does wls surgery as well, I don't know if they have a support group or not.

The two posted above are the only 2 I know of as well, but I just wanted to point out that, although I haven't been since maybe Sept. 03, the St. Mary's one is only once a month. I found this web site to be far more helpful frankly. Whenever I had a question about something I could pop on here, anytime day or night, and just about every time, my question was answered somewhere on here. I also like the fact that you could look up slightly embarrassing issues with anonymity versus asking in a large group. My $.02 anyway.
