Yes, we just had a meeting. I missed it, but was able to see folks for the first few minutes beforehand. I am a nurse on the bariatric unit at the hospital and was working that night so didn't get to stay. Dr. Klein, local plastic surgeon from Concord, was there as a guest speaker that night. Hope to see you at the next one in May!
Diane gives a newsletter and calendar at each meeting with tidbits to help you throughout the month. I believe it is available on the internet if you Google search "bariatric benchmark". The meetings will either be open format where we just question/answer for the hour or she will bring guest speakers or recipes and samples of things for us to try. She keeps it very laid back but informative, and I think you'll enjoy it.
