GA - Acworth, Kennesaw, Woodstock Area

I was sleeved 4 years ago. Lost 130 lbs but have gained 30 back over the last few years. I would be interested in attending some sort of support group in this area if one were to be established.

I'm in the Douglasville, GA are and I would love to come to these meetings. I just got approval from my insurance company and hope to have my surgery scheduled in a few weeks.

This is off topic to your question, but I'm not sure where else I might ask. How did you choose your surgeon? I am looking in to Dr. Smith in Marietta, and Dr. Johnson in Suwanee was also recommended. I did look at the surgeon reviews, there is just so much info. I would love to hear your opinions and how you chose your doctors. Your input would be greatly appreciated. I am new to the site, so if there is a better way to gather local opinions/info from others please let me know. Thanks so much!

I was sleeved by Dr. Smith almost 2 years ago. Fantastic surgeon, staff, and facilities. He gave me the best foundation to succeed in changing my life.

He was the only surgeon I had a consultation with. I knew right away he was the best choice for me. I think meeting them and their staff is the most important step.

Good luck!

Are there support meetings in the Alpharetta, GA area? I moved to North Fulton a couple of years ago from Central Florida. I would really like to attend meetings once again as I have gotten off track.
