MUSC JANUARY SUPPORT MEETING

From: Debra Petitpain Date: 01/08/07 16:07:19 To: Debra Petitpain Subject: Support Group Happy New Year!! Hope you can join us for our support group meeting this month for our annual "Meet the Team" session. Joining us will be some of the team members (dietitians, surgeons, nurses, program coordinator, patient navigator, etc.) from MUSC's Bariatric Surgery Program. This is a great way for you to put some names with faces and ask questions. We will also have time for open discussion among group members. Our support group is open to those who are contemplating having or have had bariatric surgery and those who support them. Please bring anyone with you who might be interested. The meeting is Thursday, Jan 18th from 6-7 PM in the Weight Management Center (4th floor of the Institute of Psychiatry, 67 President Street). We now validate for parking!!! Hope to see you there, Debbie Petitpain, MS, RD Bariatric Dietitian Bariatric Surgery Program, MUSC 843.792.3025

Thanks for posting this Dawn. Isn't there also a new type of support group meeting at MUSC this month??? Susann

YES MS SUSANN ... HERE IS THE INFO ON THAT SUPPORT GROUP ... From: Laura Nance Date: 12/18/06 10:05:46 To: Laura Nance Subject: POSTOP program free for surgery patients The MUSC Bariatric Surgery Program would like to invite you to participate in a great aftercare program following your weight loss surgery. "POSTOP" (Post Obesity Surgery Training to Optimize Progress) addresses behavioral and lifestyle factors that may have contributed to your weight gain over the years and that could compromise successful weight loss after surgery. This program is FREE to MUSC bariatric surgery patients. See the attached flyer for more information. Have a wonderful holiday!!!
