GA Losing for Life Support Group
                   
     Facilitated by LaShelle Dyer & Izzy Thomas OH Leaders

You are cordially invited to join us for a 2nd
Saturday Support Session.  Meet new friends, share your experiences, and learn more about weight loss surgery. Pre and post-operative patients of all weight loss surgery types are welcome. 

When:  2nd Saturday of every month 11:00am-12:00pm. 
                   
Our next meeting is Saturday,  July 10, 2010


Where:    
Henry Medical Center
             1133 Eagle's Landing Parkway
                             
                             Stockbridge, GA 30281

We will meet in the Foundation Education Building. Take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor.  Look for the WLS support Group Sign.

You can reach me at 678-860-8806 if you are lost or need more information.




          ???Why??? 
 
1. Studies have shown wls patients who are actively involved in a support group have more long term success in losing and keeping the weight off. 

2. While family and friends, can offer support and encouragement, nothing compares to the knowledge and first hand experience of people just like you who have had surgery themselves, or are going through the approval process.

3. Many insurance companies require active participation in a bariatric support group in order to approve wls.


4. You'll meet new friends and have lots of fun!

Hi, Lashelle.

I live in Mcdonough, but I usually go to a support group at Atlanta Medical Center.  I want to give the HMC WLS support group a try.  It's definately more convenient.  I have one question though.  Will there be a body composition scale there (i.e, Tanita Scale)?
