fianlly here in Columbus and settled...

So I have relocated from Nashville up here to the Columbus area.  Apartment - check,  job-check (YAY!!)  looking for some Zumba and a support group. 

Can anyone lead me to some Zumba?  I'm looking in the University district, Clintonville, Worthington, Short North areas and I would like to not pay a MILLION dollars to do so.

Also, active support groups.  help me out here.  I'm in serious need.  I've been going through a whole lot here lately and have almost abandoned everything that I have lived for the past 18 months.  I need a strong dose of reality and gotta get back to doing what's right.  Also, are there any pharmacies around here that carry our stuff... you know.. Bariatric Advantage chews, Calcet chews.. stuff like that. 

I can't wait to meet some new friends up this way.  I'm gonna try really hard to make it down to Dayton on 6/26 but not sure about job situation at this time.  Ahhh, so much change.  good thing i'm a strong girl, right?  

You can call Fresh Start Bariatrics and ask if non patients can attend support groups (third Tuesday of every month), or become a patient for followup care.
Maybe I'll see you there this Tuesday. They also have a group that gets together for lunch once a month.

thanks!  That's actually pretty close to my house.  Will call them today. 

I had my Surgery at Barix Clinics in Michigan on June 2nd 2010.  Barix has a Hospital in Groveport and they said they have a  support group that meets the 3rd Sat  at 9am.. I will double check. They said all  WLS folks and/or familys of can come.  My  girlfriend had RNY 8 years ago in San Diego and needs some support to get back in line and wants to go. We also live in the North Columbus area so if you need any other info,, just ask =-)  Take Care

Mt. Carmel also has a Bariatric Support group - look on their website www.mchs.com and also there is an informal support group that me and others formed almost 2 years ago that has folks both pre-band and post-band from different lapband programs around Columbus. We meet at the Polaris Mall in the Food Court on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 2-4pm. We sit in the corner by Chik-Fil-A and Great Indoors (kiddie rides in that area). Ask for Heather or Kathy or if you see a table gabbing away, that is probably us. Free and easy! We like being able to compare the different programs and different stages folks are at.

I see you are RNY on your signature but you are still welcome - its a WLS friends thing for support.


Welcome to Columbus.
