Duluth, North Fulton support groups?

Any support groups? in the North Metro Atlanta area???

Good morning, yes there is one at Emory St. John Hospital. Don't know all the information put there are some information on this board. Also you can give them a call. This one will be for banders only.

There are support groups at Emory Johns Creek...3 meetings a month.  They have one general support group, 1 for lapbanders, and 1 for people who are at least a year out.  You'd have to contact them for specific details.

North Fulton Regional Hospital also has a support group that meets once a month.

Emory Johns Creek Hospital as the other two have mentioned. The general support group meeting is tonight (2nd wed of the month) at 7pm. THere is also a wls grads mtg and a banders mtg but i am not sure of the specifics of those.

There is also the LawrencevilleWINGS group that meets the last saturday of the month at the brunswick lanes on HWY29 from 1-3ish. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/LawrencevilleWINGS/

Thanks so much!!!!

YES, EMORY JOHNS CREEK HOSPITAL HAS 3 SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS A MONTH.  THEY ALL MEET AT 7:00 PM AND IN SUITE 109 OF THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING, CONNECTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE GENERAL SUPPORT GROUP MEETS THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH, THE "GRADUATE" OR "VETERANS" GROUP MEETS THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH. THIS WAS JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE ONE YEAR OR GREATER OUT FROM SURGERY, HOWEVER, I DECIDED TO OPEN IT UP TO ANYONE AFTER THEY HAD SURGERY. AFTER ALL, TO STAY SUCCESSFUL, YOU NEED TO HEAR HOW THOSE OF US FARTHER OUT FROM SURGERY HAVE MANAGED TO KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF. ON THE FOURTH TUESDAY OF THE MONTH IS THE LAP BAND ONLY SUPPORT GROUP MEETING. THIS IS A GREAT MEETING BECAUSE JUST "MEMBERS OF THE BAND" IS MADE UP OF BANDERS.  THE CO-LEADER OF THE GROUP IS A YOUNG LADY WHO HAS LOST OVER 90 POUNDS IN JUST 9 MONTHS. SHE IS TRULY AN INSPIRATION.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL ME AT 678-474-8222
