St Francis Bariatric Surgery Center holds all support groups in Suite 103 of the APEX Medical Center (intersection of Rt 4 and Rt &) right next to CHRIAS.   Currently we have three choices:

Band Support Group is the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 6-7:30PM (focuses is on pre- & post-op Adjustable Gastric Band patients)  This is an open support group lead by the bariatric coordinator & dietitian.  

Our new Support Group is for post-ops only is the 2nd Wendesday of each month from 6-7:30PM (focuses is on post-op Adjustable Gastric Band or Bypass patients)  This is an open support group lead by our medical director & surgeon Gail Wynn MD, our psychologist Lisa Slade-Martin PhD, the bariatric coordinator & dietitian.

Open Support Group is the last Tuesday of each month from 6-7:30PM (focuses is on pre- & post-op Adjustable Gastric Band & Bypass patients)  The format has recently changed to an open support group lead by the bariatric coordinator & dietitian.  If there are 4 Tuesdays in a month it is the 4th, if there are 5 Tuesdays in the month it is the 5th.
