I am aware of two good Support Groups in NE Atlanta. The first is at Northside Hospital and the second is the one i attend each month at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. I am very happy with this one. i believe you can find meeting details searching on Atlanta Bariatric ...Let me know if you can't find it and i will research the actual URL.

Thanks y'all....the Emory Johns Creek would be great if it wasn't so far. Atlanta Medical is super close to me, so maybe I'll try that one. And Northside might be a good option because that is where I am having surgery on Tuesday. Thanks for the info!!
