Long Island, NY Support Groups

[Rachel Lebowitz LMSW 0]

Hey all, Just wanted to give the info to my Long Island, NY friends! There are a few groups in the Area.

Nassau County

Post-Ops Supporting Each Other (POSE) Is the support group I have been running for two years. We meet once a month at my office in Baldwin (1st Thursday of the month) and once a month at Panera bread In East Meadow (3rd Thursday of the month) 7pm - 8:45pm

Suffolk County

Second Chance At Life Every Day (SCALE) is a support group my good friend Heather runs every other Saturday morning at 9am in Sayville.

Good Samaritan Hospital runs a support group on the opposite Saturdays from scale at Good Sam Hospital. It is open to all. Also at 9am.

They are all free and excellent groups!

If you would like more info on any of these groups feel free to PM me!

Good to know I live in Western Long Island, but my surgeon is in NY at weill cornell and I would have to go all the way into the city for their support group.

Hi my name is Elaine and I have a little support group of men and women from Nassau and Suffolk Counties that meet up. Our next meet up is June 3rd 2pm at Panera in Garden City. We take turns meeting in areas of Nassau/Suffolk County. If interested please feel free to come. We are all at different stages in our journey. I am 9 months post op and down 78 pounds already, but have had stalls along the way and 15 pounds from goal. Elaine
