Is there a good support group I can visit in the Hampton Roads Area on the Peninsula? I live in Newport News and Portsmouth is just a little too far to drive. My lap RNY will be at the Portsmouth Navy Hospital but I 'd like to visit a support group closer to home. I'm hoping to have my WLS within the next 4-5 weeks. This forum has been a very helpful tool and I've talked to several WLS patients face to face.

Hampton Sentara Hospital's WLS support group meetings are on the 2nd Wed of the month at 7 pm. The next meeting is Nov 14.  Come in the visitor's entrance (north side) and take the hallway immediately to the right.  It's usually in one of the classrooms down that hallway.

I'm hoping to make that support group meeting too.

I am just copying and pasting an email I get every month. Perhaps you can email him and ask to be put on their list for reminders.  [email protected] ATTENTION: SUPPORT GROUP ATTENDEES FOR BOTH

GASTRIC BYPASS AND LAP BAND PATIENTS!!

 

Just a reminder, our December Support Group Holiday Party is quickly approaching!!  Jeanne and I are working on the date and place of this extravaganza!  We will let you know!  If anyone has suggestions for the party, please email me at [email protected] and we will certainly review all requests!! 

 

Again, please bring in bariatric friendly dishes for everyone to share!  Also, if you know the recipe ahead of time, email it to me and I will be more than happy to make copies to pass around to the group!!  We are still working on our bariatric cookbook, so bring those recipes in-OK?  Jeanne and I will supply the utensils, plates, napkins, cups and drinks!

 

To ALL Pre-op Patients: The December party does NOT count towards your support group attendance since it is a party! It will be our only support group for the month of December due to the holidays!  Thanks so much!!

Jeannette and Jeanne
