Hey everyone.

Im on call next week so keep your fingers crossed that nothing comes up...Do you know where top of the river is in anniston? Its right off 431 I could meet you there and then its about 5min from there.

yes i know where top of the river is.

i called them and talked to marty and she told me there not going to have anymore this month but will start back at the first of the year. so im game to go then. and she was happy to get other people to come and join the group meeting.

Well dang Im glad you called bc I would have been PISSED to go up there and there be no class!! Alright well Im def going to the one in bham this month!!!!!

me to. im going to try and get there alittle around 930ish to. i might not can stay to long after the meeting but i will stay as long as i can. since its natalies bday party then to your house for some xmas party fun.

The meeting for Jan 13th is on per Angie at Dr. Blacks office!

New support meetings for Lap-band patients!

Dr. Britt and Dr. Groves will be providing monthly support meetings beginning 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).

cool, Im glad to see that more support group meetings are popping up!!!
