Savannah support info........we need you and you need us

Hope to see you there............... Memorial hospital will be hosting a meeting in the auditorium across from the eye clinic on Monday Nov 5th at 6pm and the speaker is a great person and will be talking about body self image. This meeting is for post op only. Memorial will also be hosting a special bariatric workshop with a guest speaker in the month of November for patients of Memorial Health. Contact Memorial direct for more info.  The less formal support group has taken a break due to everyone dealing with busy schedules during the busy holiday months but will meet again starting in January. If your interested send me a a private message for more information. Pre op and post op welcome. Memorial generally holds a meeting also on the third Wednesday of each month at 7pm for post op and pre op but with it being the evening before Thanksgiving this month they may cancel. Contact memorial bariatrics direct for more information.  6pm to 7:30pm at the JEA (Jewish Education Aliance ) building second floor on Abercorn near De Renne Ave host a meeting each month on the third Thursday this month being the 15th. Most patients are from Atlanta area hospitals but all are welcome.  Come join us............ [email protected] if you need more info Tami

I saw in your message that the meeting on the 5th is for post-op only.  Ashley at Memorial Bariatrics had told me that it was open to pre and post op.  Can you let me know?  I'll call her also. Thanks, Lindy

I could not make contact with anyone but unless they have changed it the meetings on Monday were always for post op only and the meetings on Wednesday's were always for pre and post but it is possible they changed it which is a possibility. Congratulations on your surgery..........

Tami, I think I know why Ashley told me I could go... on the list for support group meetings this month there are only 3 listed, the 5th, 7th, and 14th.  I still need my two support group meetings before my surgery on the 27th and I'm an RNY so that would leave me the 5th and the 14th. I look forward to the meeting tomorrow night. Lindy

Hi, That is probably why. I do remember that they required that you attend a certain amount of meetings before your surgery.  Dr A, Jody, Stephanie, etc....are all great. I have not met Ashley yet. Best wishes for a very successful surgery on the 27th. You will do great. It's a breeze. I may attend this evening. I have not decided yet. Nisa is the speaker this evening about self body image. She is great. Tami
