Morristown Support Group

Does anyone attend the support group at Morristown hospital? I haven't been there yet, but I'm hoping to go this month, which will be just a few days before my surgery. I believe its the second Tuesday of the month at 5:30. Big_Ideas

Hi,
Are you having your surgery at Morristown Memorial? I am having mine on the 25th of Feb there. I heard the support group at 5:30 is usally pretty empty, but they have a morning group that is usally a little more crowded. I have not been yet.

Hi Sherriwine: I've pm'ed you! Thanks for posting... Big_ideas

There's a good support group in St Clares Hospital in Dover if it's not too far.  They meet on the 4th Weds of the month. Good Luck with your surgery!!!

Thank you Vic. Do you go to that one? Where was your surgery done?

Yes I go to the St Clare group.   I started months before my surgery and am continuing - they are a good source of information and support. I had my surgery done 10/30 at St. Clare's in Dover.  They seem to have a pretty good bariatric program going there.  Anyone is welcome at the meetings.  The next meeting isn't until February 27th but they run from 6pm - 7pm.   Let me know if you decide to join us at the next meeting!     

Nothing to do with the support group meetings - but we share the same surgiversary!  I still can't believe it's been 13 weeks already!  Hope you are doing well! Pam

I attend the Morristown support group meeting every month. They are indeed the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 5:30 PM. It is usually a small but very regualr andunblievably supportive group made up of newbies as well as old timers. The nutritionist and psycologist who run it are great. In addition to the Supoort group they have eating adjustment classes on Monday mornings and Thursday evenings. The morning one is more popular. These are fantastic when you are newly post-op and oh so confused! Hope this helps!

Thank you marjo. I definitely plan to be at the next meeting. My surgery is 2/15, and I need all the help and support I can get! Is the nutritionist Deb Freschl? Maybe I'll see you there? Big_ideas
