New GLBT WLS Group in Huntsville, AL

For those in the GLBT community who've had, or are considering weight loss surgery, the new group, Rainbows of Hope WLS Support, will be meeting Tuesday, April 6, 2004, 7 p.m. at MCC Huntsville , 3015 Sparkman Drive. This will be only our second meeting, so we encourage you to spread the word and come on out. At Rainbows of Hope, we're able to address special needs and topics relating to our community and our relationships that can't and won't be readily discussed at a regular wls support meetings. The subjects are enlightening and informative and total confidentiality is recognized and initiated in every group setting. For April, Rainbows of Hope will have a guest speaker, Ms. Kristi Gibbons, the WLS Coordinator with the Huntsville Bariatric Wellness Institute. Kristi (who is not gay, but is giving her support for the group) will be speaking on the expectations of the procedure (which she has had), and will be able to answer any questions regarding the befores and afters of surgery. Also remember, we have a separate break off session for the spouses/partners/significant others ...the support system for all those facing the prospect of a brand new person being in their lives after wls . So join us on Tuesday, April 6, from 7-8:30 p.m. We hope to see you there.
