Good Samaritan Hosp Suppot Groups- Long Island

Just wondering if anyone has info on the support meetings at Good Samaritan Hosp.- West Islip, NY. I did read somewhere that there are mtgs on Sat AM- do they have week night meetings as well? Thanks- any info would be appreciated.

Hi Dawn, This is right from Good Sam's webpage: Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center also offers a Bariatric Support Group that supplies information and continuing support for patients of pre and post surgery status. Meetings are held every other Saturday of each month from 9 am to 10:30 am in the Guild Conference Center, Room 2. For more information on the Bariatric Surgery Program or the Eat Right Nutrition Program, please call 631-376-4444. So it looks like Sat. morning is the only time. Too early for me!!! Where on LI are you? Email me if you want. Hugs, Karen

Hi Dawn, Good Sam only holds meetings on every other Saturday at 9 am. It's a great meeting if you can make it. The next meeting is this Saturday 10/7. A lot of pre-ops and post ops. I hope to see you there. ~Angel 255/222/126 highest/day of surg/at Goal!

Hi Dawn, The group at Good Sam is one of my favorites. I attend 4 different groups, but not all each month. I'm sorry that my weekend college schedule conflicts so much with the Good Sam group. I won't be at a meeting there again until December due to confllicts. They often give out samples, and it is a great group of men and women of all ages. I highly recommend it. Maryellen

Maryellen- Just curious what other groups you attend. i am looking for something local. I have heard good things about the good sam mtgs but Sat AM are not good for me- I have a 2 1/2 yr old. thanks- Dawn
