I hadn't heard about the Yahoo group, I had read about some of the local groups associated with local surgeons. I'm in intown Decatur, near Emory University. I know that the Emory Bariatric Center has a support group and they even specify that they take non-Emory post-ops in the group:

I am considering checking it out. I also thought possibly going to Fill Center USA would put me in touch with some other Atlanta post-op lap band patients.
