Beckley WLSSG Mtg 03/23/09 - Guest Speaker

Hi everyone!

The Beckley WLS Support Group meeting will be held on Monday, February 9, from 7:00-9:00pm at RaleighGeneralHospital on Harper Road, Beckley. Guests are welcome and everyone is encouraged to attend! We will meet in room "B" in the new EducationCenter (located on the Kroger-side of the hospital towards the rear of the lot). You will see a wheelchair ramp and some steps leading to a glass door. There is parking to the rear of the building, as well as in the main parking lot.

This month:  Special guest speaker - Dr. Robert Shin, head of bariatric surgery at CAMC, will speak to the group about the lap band.  He will also discuss other issues concerning all weight loss surgery patients.

Restaurant cards for Dr. Shin and Dr. Stickler's patients (as well as some other area doctors) will be available for anyone who needs one. If you need a card for a specific doctor, please email me with your doctor's name, address and telephone number.

Clothing Exchanges:  You are welcome to bring any clothes that no longer fit you to give to others that might be able to use them. You do not have to bring clothing to take clothing, and bringing clothing is not required.

You can view our monthly calendar by visiting our support group website at http://www.geocities.com/beckleywlssg/ 2008 meeting dates are also listed below.

Looking forward to seeing you Monday!
