Albany@ Yono's Feb 5th GBP support group ***DON'T MISS IT!***

Hi All, We have a great meeting planned for February. We have a panel set up for Feb 5th at 6:00 at Yono's Restaurant in Albany. So far we have Dr.'s Rosati an AMC bariatric surgeon, Panza bariatrician/clinical utritionist, King Plastic surgeon, Lindstrom bariatrician/clinical nutritionist, Jamie Ellis Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and 4+ yr postop as well as an exercise physiologist from AMC and 2 patients representatives. This will be a great night to have questions asked that you've been wondering about, meet some of the local providers and experience the ambiance of Yono's! Here are some details for you to know. Yono's is at 25 Chapel Street (cross street is Sheridan) in the Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Albany. There is parking available within the Hampton Inn but there is a parking lot fee. There is another lot close by on Sheridan (not sure if it is pay or not) and meter parking should be available and free! Tea and coffee will be served. Please come with questions and bring a guest if you would like! This is a great night for significant others who want to know about Gastric Bypass surgery, body contouring surgery after weight loss, nutrition, psychological implications and hear from some patients themselves! And by the way, we have asked a male patient of Dr Alger to speak and a women who after regain, recently lost 80 lbs. Email me or Janet at: [email protected] if you have any ???? P.S. Saratoga will still have support group, Pat Bryant 3 yr + post-op wlser has graciously accepted covering facilitating the group in my absence that night! So wherever you go it will be good! HUGS!

Jamie: Thanks so much for the info. I'll be sure to make it. Sounds like a super program. See you Monday. Peggy

Hi Jamie, Thank you for the information. I will definitely try to make this event. Dr. Lindstrom is my nutritionist and Dr. Rosati did my most recent surgery. I've heard about Dr. Panza and she is supposedly very good as well. Let's hope that there is a big crowd. LindaM

is this free?

YES YES YES it will be an awesome opportunity for preops and postops to ask questions of all providers, especially seeing as we grow and change so much from preop to longterm postop! Hope to see u there! Jamie
