Magic 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi group, How can you find info about local lapband support groups in your area? For example: I live in Boston, MA. so what are the local (real people) support groups listings in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wavydaby 1 Posted March 23, 2006 I went on google and did "lap-band forum and 'insert your hometown here' " and found some forums that way. That's actually how I found this site since my state's forum is pretty active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi wavy, Maybe you misunderstood me. I meant how to find an actual real people local support group (not an online forum) I guess i got you confused, so I went and edited my post:) Thanks a lot though:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monymo 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi, you could ask the staff at the surgeons office for support group information. Also the hospital would have that information. Also the magazines from obesityhelp and wlslifestyles list all certified support groups. Hope this helps. Mona:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
