I'd love to get your feedback. It allows for you to download and print the various articles that we have written for OH Magazine.
Thanks for taking a look!
For anyone interested and needing support on their journey, I am putting this info out there. . . If you live in western parts of New Jersey, probably mid-state and lower, it is not difficult to get to by car. . . it is near Sesame Street in Pennsylvania (next exit 44 on 95).
We meet this coming Saturday, March 2nd from 11 a.m. until approximately 1:30 p.m. (every first Saturday of the month) and our meetings are open to ANYONE needing support, most of the people who come have had RNY, Sleeve, with a few banders mixed in. There is also a pre-op and newly post-op breakout meeting.
Our meeting is held to offer support based on topics as they relate to post-ops, so please come by and share your WOW moments, as well as whatever else is on your mind.
The Place: 280 Middletown Boulevard, Langhorne, PA 19047
The time: 11 a.m. until approximately 1:30 p.m.
If you are celebrating a yearly surgiversary, please bring any props (clothes worn prior to WLS, pictures), you will get 5 minutes to share what it was like, what it is like now and what you look forward to.
We have a nutritionist at every meeting and while all are welcome to attend our support groups, nutritional consults cannot be given to non-Barix patients, but no matter where you had surgery if you feel in need of support we welcome you!
On a last note, while we recognize that there are times when babysitting might be an issue, it would be appreciated if small children were not brought to the meeting, as there are times people have a need to discuss things where having a small child there inhibits their ability to discuss openly talk about what they need to. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi!
I am really in need of some great support groups for this journey. I have so many questions and fears and would truly benefit from talking to others in a group setting. I love on the Monmouth/Ocean county border in New Jersey. Any recent groups out there you can share?
Thank you so much
