Any Face to Face support groups in NW Georgia?

Hi... thank you all for the wonderful support this board shows one another. It's very helpful and appreciated. I was wondering, however, does anyone know of any person to person support groups in the NW Georgia area? Near Cedartown or Rome. I know my surgeon has a list for me, but I was wondering were there any that may be out there which haven't " made the list ", per say. Thank you in advance? Melissa

Hi, Melissa! I don't know of any, but I am up in Ringgold... and would love to meet somewhere in the middle for some mutual support! I think there may be something in Dalton... but we can watch this thread and see if anything comes up. Lyn

Melissa, the third Saturday of the month Wings Around Atlanta meets. Our meetings are held right off of 285, I don't have the exact exit in front of me, but if your interested, let me know and I will get you the information. It's worth the ride around 285!! Wings is made up of patients from all doctors, it is run by wls patients and we have a hoot. One of the highlights is coming up in December, we hava a GALA Christmas party, many of the doctor's from the Atlanta area attend, and we usually get them up in the front and have them do something a little embarassing. Last year they did the YMCA-song..........dressed as the cowboy, indian and so on. Debbie J

Thank you both for replying.. and yes.. I would love the Wings info Debbie. With two small children, not sure how often I could make it.. but I would love to at least try.. sounds fun. As for getting up to Dalton, I actually go to Chattanooga quiet frequently and have family in Ringgold.. so that's a possibility for me too. Thanks girls! Melissa

Hi Melissa, if you look above, there is a whole post about Wings. Hazel has posted the link to the yahoo group and a link to get directions to the meeting. I must say it again! Wings is a wonderful group of people. I have met some of the best friends I have ever had in my life from this group. I honestly don't know what I would do without them. Melissa, if you decide to come to the Sept meeting, shoot me an email and I will meet you there, you can sit with us. That way you "know" someone there. Look forward to meeting you Debbie
