Support Group in Jacksonville, Fl???

Are there any?

Dana, There are several. One is with Memorial Hospital. There is actually a meeting @ 7pm on Thursday March 9th. Dr Webb's support group meets the first Thursday of each month Dr Yasrebi has a support group also, not sure of when their's meets There is also another one that meets at the Regency Public Library on Saturday's. See previous posts for more info on that one. Hope this helps Cindy

Hey Dana. If you e-mail Christeena Mencner at [email protected] she can give you the details on the one she leads there in Jax. She is a patient of my surgeon. I used to lead a group that was a sort of a branch-off of hers in Orlando, but now have my own OH group here. You can also check out their on-line group by going to: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FloridaBariatricCenterWLSSupportOcala/ Hope this helps! ~ Monica

Thanks for the help!

Hi Dana, I am part of a great support group here in Jacksonville (the one that someone mentioned at the Regency Square library). We no longer meet there, but the new meeting place is at 7256 Merrill Road. It is near the intersection of Townsend and Merrill. We meet every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, so the next one is on the 18th. It's from 10:00a.m.-1:00p.m., but you can come and go as you need to. It is also open to everyone, no matter what type of surgery you've had or are going to have or what surgeon you've had. It's really a great group and I always leave there having learned something new. Hope you can make it to a meeting. -Lynn Lap RNY 8-16-05 297/210.5/140

Thank you for this post, Lynn. I don't come to the Florida board often enough but I'm here now. I'll email her also....although you've done all the work for me. AND THIS PICTURE IS GORGEOUS. I'm so proud of you. See you next Saturday. La Wanda
