Dr. Schlecht Guest Speaker at Feb 16 Fargo Support Group

Kristina Schlecht, MD, www.innovishealth.com/FindPhysician/bios.aspx  (see her info on link) will be the guest speaker at the Monday, Feb 16 "Weigh to Go" weight loss surgery support group in the lower level (by the fountain) at Innovis Health Hospital, from 6-730pm. Dr. Schlecht has something in common with so many of us, she's had the surgery! Join us for a Q&A session from a medical professional who has really walked in your shoes.

Also, bring along your supplements so we can do an exchange of information. We all know some of us have problems with large 'horse' pills of calcium citrate, prefer different types of B12, might like liquid vitamins instead of pills, and have found other options. There is no 'right' supplement, as you get no benefit at all if you don't take them because they don't work or sit well with you. This is a chance to see what others have found. Write down where you bought them, and what you paid. We'll compile the list for everyone to help you with your shopping. Supplements are a lifelong requirement, so you might as well find something that works for you to make sure you stay healthy and compliant to this chosen lifestyle.

Everyone is welcome, doesn't matter what kind of surgery you've had, or not yet had, or where you had it done. If you're looking for information, this is the place to be on Feb 16.

Planning on being there

Great, Kelly! It will be great to see you there. Nice to have met you last week.

I should be there as well!  I didn't make it to the January Meritcare meeting, though I meant to.  Was a little under the weather that night. 

This is a different room than in January, correct?

Thanks

Hi, Lori,
The location we met in at Innovis is our permanent location, so it would be the same as last month. We've tried other locations, such as the Library, restaurants, etc., and this one works out the best since its easy to find and its available to us at the same time each month.

It was nice to hear her perspective from a medical professional who shared so many of our issues. It really validated that all of our questions/problems/successes are very typical, but vary by individual. We'll have to have her back, she was an excellent resource!
