The Next Level Support Group Meeting-Springfield, MO

Hi Everyone! The Next Level Support Group of the St. John's Weight Loss Surgery Program will meet on Monday, February 27, 2006, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The meetings will be at St. John's Surgery Center, Classroom 4B, 1229 E. Seminole, Springfield, Missouri. Our regular meeting will take place on the fourth Monday of every month. The Next Level is for weight loss surgery post-operative patients that have passed their one year surgery anniversary or longer. You don't have to be a patient of St. John's Hospital Weight Loss Surgery Program to attend this meeting. If you are one year post-operative or longer, you may attend this group, however, this group is exclusively for patients only. In The Next Level meetings, we share experiences, successes, challenges, issues and concerns post-ops encounter past their first year and beyond. For our February meeting, we will have a protein bar sampling "taste testing". Bring your favorite protein bar to share with all of the group members. Make sure to bring the wrapper from the protein bar you are sharing along with enough samples for everyone. At our first meeting last month, we had 17 members in the group. I hope to see you at The Next Level meeting on Monday, February 27th. It's going to be another great meeting!
