I too had my surgery through a Center of Excellence, and they provide one - but I'm 2.5 hours away and their meetings are during the week at 8pm. There's no way for me to feasibly make it when I have to get up at 4am for work.
There's a few of us in the local area that have been discussing putting one together as a satelite group with help or guidance from the bariatric office, but so far it hasn't gone anywhere.
