New Beginnings Support Group Mtg.-Springfield, MO

To New Beginnings Support Group Members, Our next meeting of the New Beginnings Support Group is scheduled to meet Monday, November 13, 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. Back by popular request of members is our Post-Op Panel! Everyone had such a great time a few months ago when we did this that we are doing it again. We will have post-op members at various stages since having their surgery. Our Panel will include a member that is a long-term post-op; a Lap-Band Post-Op and RNY Post-Op that are patients of our Bariatric Surgery Program having had their surgeries with Dr. Edwards and Dr. Hodges. Our Panel will share their stories and we'll have an informative, yet fun, question/answer time together. I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday, the 13th!
