Support Meeting for Everyone in Clearwater, FL.

Happy New Year Everyone!!! We are back in full swing after the holidays. Hoping everyone's was joyous. Our Saturday morning support group meeting will start out with everyone together, but then about half way through we will divide into two groups: gastric bypass and LAP Band so that we can better meet your needs. Our dietician will spend time with the LAP Band group answering questions and helping you to be successful with "working the band". Julie Douglass will spend time with the Gastric Bypass group dealing with the issues specific to gastric bypass. She will be attending a special training on a Back on Track program for patients who are now either stuck and not losing any more weight and want to or have had a regain. We will start this group either in late April or early May, once she comes back from the training. We will also be having another field trip to Lo carb Connection at Largo Mall in the next couple of months. Lots of great and positive changes! Our next support group meeting is Saturday, January 13th at 10am at Morton Plant Hospital on Jeffords St. West of South Fort Harrison Ave. in the Tuttle Auditorium near the Cafeteria. We are having a Vitamin Challenge~ Everyone bring in one of each of the vitamins and/or supplements you are taking. We will be experimenting to see how well they dissolve and are therefore absorbed into our systems. Should prove to be very enlightening!!! I hope to see all of you there!
