ONE YEAR of First Saturday Support Meetings @ Barix and still Successing!!!
November 7 from 12 noon till 4 pm. We will have breakout session from 12-2 with a break at 2 to 2:30 then a group meeting from 2:30 till 4. Come for the whole meeting or else come for a little while we will love to have you.

Anyone is welcome from thinking about surgery, pre-op to post op of any amount of time we have a group for you. 

RNYer's come on out! Lap Banders come on out! 

Some amazing and new additional groups! Due to request and conversations among all of the support leaders we are adding two new groups of support! 

1) Support for the Supporting team in your life! It will be run by Ernie Rehr who is the spouse of our Lap Band leader Robin Rehr. This group will not have any of the WLS patients just the support people so PLEASE bring your support person out to this new group! Your spouse,boyfriend or girl friend , your life partner, your parents, close friends or even adult children. Whoever supports you in this journey bring them out to a meeting. They will be able to talk freely express fears and concerns! Ask questions! This is a good for pre-ops that have support people or people that are not supportive because of the fear of the unknown!  Also of course Post -Ops! 


 

2) Kids Support Group which will be lead by at least one secured leader Jordon Dhoble he is the son of Shauna Dhoble he has been there through every step of his mom's surgery process and understands this surgery and what changes happen.  For young children that are going through changes with their parents having this surgery or have had surgery to help let them know they matter and are part of this change. We would like the children to be at least 5 years of age and up but PLEASE keep in mind this session is NOT a babysitting group while you attend your portion of the meeting.

So we hope to see everyone at Barix on November 7 from 12-4 with new and exciting changes! 

Any questions feel free to ask or PM me!

I have 16 and 17 year old daughters.  If they were to come along, would they be part of the kids' group or support person group?


Blessings, Jill

I am going to say that being older children they would fit in with the support person group ....The leader of that grouo is Ernie and he is wonderful.

Since both of these are newer groups to the mix depending on the turnout of young (kids Jordan may even sit in on that group.

I hope to see you and your girls on Saturday !

I'm planning on being there! It will be my first post-op group meeting since my surgery on 9/21. I'm nervous about the whole social aspect of it but I managed to survive the pre-op meetings so I think I'm ready to tackle the post-op meetings. *eep*
