I received this email last week concerning changes to the support group meetings

Dear Support Group Participants,
The Program for Weight Loss Surgery at Brigham and Women's/Faulkner Hospitals (BW/F PWLS) is dedicated to providing excellent care and support to all of our patients.
In order to best serve our patients, the gastric lap band and gastric bypass support groups will be merging to allow each post-operative patient and surgical candidate to get the most out of each support group.
There will continue to be one support group held at Brigham and Women's Hospital and at Faulkner Hospital each month for the convenience of our patients. As always, you are welcome to attend a support group at any location.
The support group held at Brigham and Women's Hospital will take place the 1st Tuesday of each month from 6-8pm in the Carrie Hall Conference Room.
The support group held at Faulkner Hospital will take place the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6-8pm in Atrium 2. As always, please check with the information desks to confirm the location.
The new schedule at Brigham and Women's Hospital will be effective December 2011, while the new schedule at Faulkner Hospital will be effective January 2012. Please see the attached support group schedule for 2011/2012 dates.
In addition, we would like to announce that we will be holding a Winter cooking demonstration at Brigham and Women's Hospital for all support group participants on Tuesday, December 6th at 6:00pm.
We look forward to working with you in the New Year and hope you will share the updated schedule with your BW/F PWLS friends and family.
All the best,
Brigham and Women's/Faulkner Hospitals
