New Beginnings Support Group Mtg.-Springfield, MO

To New Beginnings Support Group Members, I wanted to remind everyone that the next meeting of the New Beginnings Support Group is scheduled to meet Monday, October 9, 2006, at the St. John's Surgery Center, Classroom 4B, 1229 E. Seminole, Springfield, Missouri. We meet from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Our regular meetings are the second Monday of every month. The New Beginnings Support Group is for weight loss surgery pre and post-op patients, their support members or anyone wanting to obtain information on weight loss surgery. We welcome pre-op patients, post-op patients (with any weight loss surgery procedure), family members, and the general public. You may be a part of our group regardless of where you have had your surgery, and you don't have to be a patient to attend. Our speaker for the October meeting will be Amy Blansit-Broadbent, New Images Coordinator. Amy's presentation is entitled "Aerobic Exercise...Not The Only Way To Weight Loss Surgery Success". Amy is one of the many speakers that will be presenting at our First Annual Weight Loss Surgery Symposium on Saturday, October 14th. I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, the 9th!
