Valley Hospital Support Group?
Looking over some past postings, here is the best information I could find concerning Northern NJ support groupds. Valley Hospital is within this email - however I am not sure how up-to-date the information is.
According to the following posting:

It meets the first Thursday of the month from 6:30 - 8:00 PM The group is run by Annette Wasielewski, the Nurse Bariatric Coordinator for Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMED .. (thanks to Plum1967) Valley meeting, from what I recall, they meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month starting at 6:00 PM and running for about an hour and a half. They meet at the Kraft Center building on Essex Road I think it is - off of Centurty Road. I dont' know how familiar you are with the area, but it is not too far from Route 17.

Also, there is another group that meets at Morristown Memorial Hospital . The meeting is the second Tuesday of each month. Here is their link: http://www.morristownmemorialhospital.org/en/morristown/serv ices/bariatric+surgery/classes+and+support+groups.html and a group meets every 4th Thursday at Saint Clare’s in Dover . Gastric Bypass patients meet between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.. Banded patients meet 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.. Here is their link: http://www.saintclares.org/stclares/services/services_ak/CWL S1/CWLS_Support_Groups.asp I also know that my Doctor’s group holds meeting at their office. There is one that “hosted” by Doctor Garrison, and the other is “hosted” by Doctors Bertha/Abkin. I think the Abkin/Bertha meetings are the last Thursday of the month. I am not sure when Doctor Garrison’s meetings are. I believed they are open to anyone, but I could be wrong. It would be best to call them. Here is their website: http://www.advancedlaparoscopicsurgeons.com/ That’s all I am aware of. Hope this was helpful (some update info can be found here: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/NJ/a,messageboard/action,r eplies/board_id,4833/cat_id,4433/topic_id,3644070/page,1/#29 082871 )
