New to Columbus
Welcome to Columbus. OSU has a bariatric program support group, Mt. Carmel also does (1st Monday of the month) and I believe Riverside and Barix clinic in Groveport does too. Check the different websites for dates/times and hopefully someone can give you a link.
Mt. Carmel info line is 614-234-LIFE

The monthly meeting is mixed lapband and RNY or other bariatric patients in an auditorium style setting and they have a monthly speaker and some open Q&A time.
Park in the attached garage and the Medical Staff Bldg where the auditorium is - is to the left of the Emergency Room and you enter on the first floor and the auditorium is on that level.
