Support group Cincy - Sat Jan 10th, 11am

We are having some experts come to talk about drastic life changes and psychological issues after bariatric surgery.  After losing a significant amount of weight, many patients find themselves looking to change careers or experience changes in their social surroundings based on their new lives and bodies.  Below is some info on our speaker.  All patients are invited, regardless of surgeon. Hope to see you all there!
