I think we've talked about this before... but didn't get alot of response. I thought if there was a thread about it, maybe it would be more visable.

Anyone intrested in starting a support group meeting in Huntsville, AL? Would be open to anyone wanting to come... meaning not just "Huntsville" residents but surrounding areas also.

I really think it would be a help to have this.... and I'm willing to help in anyway... I just don't know that I would like to host it haha.. Not much on hosting... but will help find a place to have it and anything else I can help with.

Hi Everyone,

I'm scheduled to have my surgery on May 8th. I'm excited, but a little nervous. I agree that we NEED a support group in Huntsville or Madison. I hope we can work it out. Did someone mention the public library earlier?

New support meetings for Lap-band patients!

Dr. Britt and Dr. Groves will be providing monthly support meetings this month. The meetings will alternate between Marshall Medical North in Guntersville and Marshall Medical South in Albertville. See the following link to view their calendar for dates and time.

Just a note for all those wishing to use Dr. Britt or Dr. Groves. They no longer have a Madison Office and will not be holding any more seminars in Huntsville/Madison. Their last 2 seminars only produced 3 attendees each. Seminars will now be held in Guntersville or Albertville.

With the high level of care and compassion these great doctors have for their patients, it is worth the drive to Guntersville or Albertville. Their aftercare and wonderful staff makes them the best choice in Alabama in my opinion. They are doing Lap-Band surgery 2-3 days a week now. They believe in the surgery and the need to provide great after care with follow up visits and fills (adjustments).

Also ... Huntsville Hospital has added gastric banding support groups. You can come to these meetings even if your surgery wasn't done in Huntsville Hospital or by certains doctors.

GASTRIC BANDING MEETINGS ARE HELD AT THE HUNTSVILLE HOSPITAL MEDICAL MALL ON THE FIRST THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 5:00PM AND THE THIRD WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 10:00AM.
