Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Hi Ann, You have joined a wonderful group. Everyone here is very caring and helpful. Some here, has had MSA a long time and has lots of good info. If I can ever help, please let me know. Kathy support groups Hi,I'm new to the group and found much comfort in reading the exchanges thathave been posted. I read about the search for a support group and startedthinking how nice it would be to find one here in western Pennsylvania. ThenKathy and Judy's exchange about finding out how close they are prompted towrite this. Anyone close to the Pittsburgh area. I'm north about 25 miles. Everytime I read the emails, I get a sense of a big hug. Thanks everyone. Ann (yep, another one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I don't know who said you couldn't join a support group if you haven't been approved. I'm in the middle of a big appeals battle for getting approval and have been denied at every turn, but I have already attended my local Kaiser support group. Just find out where it is and go.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi Gordy, I recently went to a support group at the Oakland Kaiser. They meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, from 7:00 - 9:00pm, if memory serves me right. No one there was checking anyone's status and there were some pre-ops in attendence. Take care, Kay in San Leandro open RNY 12/1/03 Gordy wrote: > Anne.... > > I was told this by the barriatric department at Richmond. > What support group are you attending ? > Gordy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi Kay.... Thanks for letting me know about Oakland. I'll be there this afternoon for a PCP appointment so I'll check with Health services while I'm there. I don't know why Richmond has different rules but I'm going to check it out (maybe I wasn't clear about the classes or something when I spoke with them).. Thanks again....you're always a big help.
