Find that you are NOT alone in your journey, your success and your challenges. Please join DR. Cherwony and Dr. Michael Perez at Holy Cross Hospital, in the Sister Innocent Conference Center for our monthly bariatric surgery support group.
Our Support Group is held the 4th Tuesday of each month, from 7:15-8:30 pm. Remember that promise you made before your surgery to faithfully attend support group each month? Where are you?
We have observed through the years that our patients enjoy continued weight loss success when they are connected to our program through support groups, updated education, and yearly visits. This month is a great opportunity to reconnect!
Even if you are enjoying continued success with your weight loss maintenance, but do not feel the need for support yourself, there are other patients who attend and could use your support, by attending and sharing your experiences, you will help others gain insight to this rewarding and life altering journey.
We always welcome any ideas and suggestions for upcoming support group. Please call Dr. Heidi Cherwony with your thoughts. 954-351-7770 ext 114.
Just a reminder about our mentoring program. Are you interested in being a mentor to someone starting out their journey? Are you looking for a way to help you to stay on track and to be accountable? Are you looking for guidance and a buddy to help you through this process? Please call Dr. Heidi Cherwony to sign up for this program or to get more information.
