Deerfield Beach Support Group

OK Palm Beach/Broward/Miami/Dade post-ops (and those beyond), thought I'd post this for those who arent familar with it and are looking for a good group: This is a great opportunity to be a part of a support group that focuses on the psychological aspects of weight loss.  This group is moderated by a licensed mental health counselor, nurse, bariatric coordinator, eating disorder specialist  (all one person  :). This group has been successful for many people over the last 6 years and many of the past participants have moved on.  Think of all the people you know who have had bariatric surgery and who are at least 6 months post op and pass this message on or come to the meeting yourself. The group meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 6pm and goes to 7:15.  I have attached the brochure with the directions to Renfrew.  If you can't pull it up you will miss the pretty picture but you can still find us.                                     FREE SUPPORT GROUP                                                   FOR                               BARIATRIC SURGERY PATIENTS              Second and Fourth Tuesday of every Month at 6:00pm The Renfrew Center Bldg. “C” Sandy Arioli, RN, LMHC, Facilitator Call (561) 445-4400 for more information Directions:  Take I-95 to Hillsboro Blvd, Go West to Lyons Road.  Go north (right) on Lyons approx. 2 blocks and make a left on NW 74th Place.  Go one block and turn right on NW 48th Ave.  After the 4th speed bump, turn right into the Renfrew Center parking lot.  Building “C” is the third building on the right.   If you happen to arrive early, please wait on the portico until the previous group in finished.

Thank you for this, John!! 

Stacy, did you go to the meeting tonight? John

No, I didn't have enough time to finish up in my office, but I will go on the 8th. That's the next one, correct?

Yeah, thats right.  The only reason that I asked is because I heard that a women sat in the wrong room waiting for people to show up till 7.  Just wanted to make sure it wasnt you.
