Gastric Band group meets tonight at Centennial

Nashville Gastric Band Group meets Tuesday, June 1st
Time: 5:30 - 6:30
Location: Tace building classroom, 2200 Murphy Avenue
Moderator: Kathy Hungerford (615) 342-7471 [email protected]
If you are a gastric band patient or are considering having a gastric band placed (lapband or realize band) - this group is for YOU!
Topic for June discussion is how to survive a social gathering. Bring your experiences!

I am possibly moving to TN in August. Are your support groups open to all, or do you have to have had your surgery in your center? I am looking for a doctor that I can get my fills with also. I will be living in the Westmoreland area.

You are welcome to attend many of our groups regardless of where you've had surgery - our full calendar is on our website (the link is in my signature below). You are welcome to come to our band group, our primary group or any of our outlying groups; the only ones that are reserved for our patients are our psychologist led groups. Each of our surgeons will take adopted band patients who've had surgery in another state. They won't do an adjustment the first visit, they will review your records, your weight and adjustment history and discuss your plan for adjustments. For adopted patients, we have a one time $500.00 program fee (which can be broken up into payments if necessary) which gives you lifelong unlimited access to our bariatric dietitians, exercise physiologist and the 12 psychologist led support groups we have each month. I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Rosenthal last year at a conference - very nice man, very good surgeon.
