Statewide post-op support group via Tele-Health

Saint Elizabeth Bariatric Surgery Program will be hosting a statewide support group meeting on June 23, 2009 from 7:30pm to 8:30pm. The topic will be "Weight Maintenance; it's not just about calories!" The presentor is Mary Lyn Kardell RD. She is very experienced in working with eating disorders such as emotional/compulsive eating habits and how to turn that around. She is active in doing pre and post op counseling with weight loss surgery patients. If you are interested, contact your local hospital to see if they have the tele-health capabilities to connect into Lincoln. (Most hospitals in the state do!) You will be able to listen and participate in the group. Mona and I are trying these groups quarterly  to see how you like them. We did have a few kinks in the first support group in March, however we are confident we have them worked out. I hope you can join us for this intersting topic by Mary Lyn. Happy Spring!
