First Saturday Barix Langhorne, Support Group

I'm here to remind everyone that this upcoming Saturday, June 2nd,  is our WLS support group.  We will have a special guest, a Barix post-op, Sharon R., who is successing beyond her wildest dreams, she became a certified Zumba instructor and she wants to give us a demo of what Zumba is and how much fun it brings to the exercise part of this journey.  She will be giving us a 15/20 minute Zumba demo right after introductories, so if you want to participate, please bring your sneakers and perhaps a towel.

Time:  11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Place:  280 Middletown Boulevard, Langhorne, PA 19047

The Format of our meeting this month will be introductions, including any WOW moment you wish to share briefly, Zumba instruction, sharing of sugervisaries and please if you are celebrating your's bring your props (pictures and/or an item of clothing that used to fit you), as you will have up to 5 minutes to tell us, how life was before surgery, how life has changed since surgery and what your hopes going forward are.

After the surgiversaries are celebrated we will break out into smaller groups as needed.  The main focus of this group is post-op related topics and associated issues and while we welcome everyone to attend, as always, there will be a smaller focus group for those newly post-op and those still exploring their options and therefore you have the choice of sitting in with those further out or the newer post-ops.

We welcome all those seeking support, no matter where you had your surgery, however, while all are welcome to attend our support groups, other services, such as nutritional counseling, are limited to Barix patients only.

Lastly, please remember that some topics, and/or the need for people to feel free to discuss whatever they need to, are not for the ears of young children, so if you need to bring your child(ern), please keep that in mind.

I look forward to welcoming you there!
