North Alabama (Huntsville) Support Group



Recommended Posts

I haven't heard if anyone has found a place to have it. I did hear about there being one on Decatur but I live in Fayetteville so that's really out of the way. I am willing to drive to Madison though, as I work in Huntsville.

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?

Donna:rolleyes2:

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
