Georgia Grrrl 0 Posted June 29, 2009 As far as I know, nothing's been done regarding a support group in Columbus. There's a surgeon here in Columbus that's going to be doing lap band surgery, if he's not already doing so. His name is Dr. Reginald Williams and he's affiliated with Columbus Clinic.

MaggieDL 0 Posted July 21, 2009 I live close to Columbus so was really hoping that a support group would start up there in that area. My Surgeon was Dr. Bagnato out of Albany GA. They have a support group but with work I haven't been able to make it to a meeting... and to be honest it has been difficult to make it to my fill appointments as well. I am 9 months out and I still don't have the elusive restriction that so many talk about... I guess I haven't reached my sweet spot. My weight loss isn't no where close to what i hope it would be at this time but still its better than where I was when i started this process. I have even thought of going to weight watchers just for the support but i am not so sure it would be so effective if they knew I had the lap band surgery. I am kinda stuck in my progress and looking for advice, answers, help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaggieDL 0 Posted June 14, 2010 No it never did get off the ground. Does your Dr office have monthly support meetings? I was banded in Albany but have never been able to attend due to work schedule and well its a 2 hour drive one way but would love to join a group in Columbus and share experiences, ideas, food ideas...
