Hattiesburg Support Group - Tuesday JULY 29th 6:00 pm
* the original posting had the wrong month. I apologize for the inconvenience. ~ Tammy
There is another Support Group that has formed in Hattiesburg, meeting the fourth Tuesday of every month.
Tuesday, July 29th
6:00 pm
Office of Dr. Beverly Smallwood
206 South 28th Ave. (across from the Super D)
Hattiesburg, MS 39401
601-264-0890
The closest Lap Band surgeon to Hattiesburg is Dr. Avara in Ocean Springs. He will be my surgeon. His office is now hosting these monthly meetings in Hattiesburg. They have only been doing this for the past 4 months. And I haven't been yet, but I plan to go next Tuesday night to check it out.
I thought I would pass along this information just in case any of you also wanted to come.

A woman's heart should be so hidden in God, that a man has to seek Him in order to find her. The meetings are always the last Tuesday of the month at 6:00 pm. I'll try to remember to post it again as the time draws closer. I think Lisa Branam puts together an e-mail list and e-mails reminders to the group as well. Her e-mail is: [email protected]
For our July meeting - Lisa and Valorie came up from Ocean Springs and led about a dozen people in an informational meeting. I was able to meet people who have had both the gastric bypass and the Lap Band surgery and people who are about to have the Lap Band surgery.
It was so comforting to be able to speak to other local people who know exactly the struggles I have had to deal with and the decisions that I had to make to start this journey. We discussed the necessity of vitamin supplements. We even sampled an Atkins protein drink that was a cafe caramel flavor. Everybody liked it except another lady and I. But it didn't cost me anything to try. So I really appreciated that. LOL!
There is another support group that meets on Monday nights at Pine Grove in Hattiesburg. Melissa in Petal (http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/261252/) and WallysDee (http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/wallysdee/) are both involved in that one. You could e-mail either one of them to ask about the next meeting.
So you now have two options to choose from in Hattiesburg.
