Just to clarify, there are two different meetings being discussed here.  One is the informational meeting which Dr. Pohl and Dr. Giovanni do once a month, typically on the 2nd Thurs of the month.  This is the one you have to attend BEFORE you can make your first appt with either of these two docs.   This month, it seems that Dr Pohl has rescheduled to the 3rd Thurs (21st), but this is not common.     The other meeting discussed here is the Weigh to Win  Weight Loss Surgery Support Group, which is held the 4th Thurs of the month.  This is typically for people who have already had surgery, or are close to a surgery date.  Anyone can attend, but it is not the informational mtg that you have to attend to get started on this journey.
 

Hope that helps clear up some of the confusion.

It is held in the Kay Auditorium at Roger Williams.  This is only required for those folks who want to make an appt with Dr Pohl or Giovanni to discuss having surgery.   The Weigh to Win meetings, which are the monthly support meetings and something different from the required seminar are also held in the Kay Auditorium,  but they are on the 4th Thurs of the month, and are open to anyone.

I just found out the seminar is Oct.9th at 6pm in the Kay Auditorium at Roger Williams Hospital in Providence, RI..  My doctor gave me a choice to go to this one or next month on Nov. 13th. I am hoping to start the process with this seminar. Hope the information on the seminar  time and dateif you are looking at Roger Williams in Providence.
