Regarding Dr. Blackstones Support Group meeting in Albuquerque

I e-mailed Dr. Blackstone's office to see if I could see what time the support group was meeting at the hotel on Friday, and just got a reply from Carol Cognata. I'll paste it here. >>Hello Mary: So sorry for the confusion regarding the upcoming trip to Albuquerque. The free educational seminar is on the 8th at 10:00 a.m. at Old Town Sheraton. The support group that is meeting on the 7th is for Scottsdale Bariatric Patients only. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at 480-391-3885. Carol Scottsdale Bariatric Center >> It looks like those of us locals that were planning on attending won't be allowed to. Any thoughts on whether we should try to go anyways? I don't know about anyone else but I will be very disappointed if we can't. It would be a great source of information for us. Mary
