Blog Entry #54 (April 1, 2020)
Hello everyone. Well… these are crazy times. Please see the link below for some tips on how to stay positive while abiding by the social distance ruling.
Below are this month’s meeting times & dates:
Surgical Group Nutrition Times:
*All nutrition visits will be done via telephone while shelter in place & social distancing orders are in place. Our office will call to confirm your appointment times & either Amy or Amanda will call you at your respective time. Please make every effort to keep these appointment times so that we can document these visits & try to keep you each moving along in your program visits.
Surgical Support Group Times:
*Until we are allowed to meet in person again, we are offering virtual support groups via Zoom. These will be held every Wednesday from 12:00-12:30. Please check your e-mail or view our FB page for the invite link in order to participate in these. Call the office if you have any concerns or questions about this.
Free Surgical Information Seminar Times:
We now offer the surgical seminar on-line as an alternative for those of you with busy schedules & transportation challenges. Go to: https://www.atlanticgeneral.org/Our-Services/Bariatric-Weight-Loss-Services/Attend-a-Webinar.aspx to view this. You will need to take the quiz at the end & pass with an 80% or better in order to make an appointment for a consultation with one of the surgeons. Once you have completed the quiz you can call to make an appointment. We will still offer one seminar in person each month (with the exception of January) for those of you who may prefer that option. Insurance & clinical requirements will be discussed during these seminars. We will NOT have an in-person seminar this month. Please view the recorded session on-line.
Non-Surgical Support Group Times:
*Until we are allowed to meet in person again, we are offering virtual support groups via Zoom. These will be held every Wednesday from 12:00-12:30. Please check your e-mail or view our FB page for the invite link in order to participate in these. Call the office if you have any concerns or questions about this.
Free Non-Surgical Information Seminar Times:
We offer our non-surgical seminar on-line as well as the surgical one. You may view the seminar on-line if you wish to or attend the in-person seminar at the beginning of the month. Go to: https://www.atlanticgeneral.org/Our-Services/Bariatric-Weight-Loss-Services/New-Direction-Medical-Weight-Loss-Program/New-Direction-Webinar.aspx to view the non-surgical seminar on-line. We will NOT have an in-person seminar this month. Please view the recorded session on-line.
