band topic - support group

[Guest guest]

We separate our support groups by procedure type and wanted to see what kind of topics other RD’s had covered with their education sessions for band patients? I’ve thought about doing topics like, Am I ready for a fill / Has my band stopped working / behaviors that effect my band success. If anyone has done one of these topics or something else and wouldn’t mind sharing their outline or activity for the session,I really would really appreciate your help. Thanks, Abby Herrick, RD, LD, cPTProgram Dietitian and Wellness Coordinator From: [mailto: ]On Behalf Of Sorg, Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 10:13 AM' 'Subject: when are RD's seeing patients Just wanted to know at what point in the process are other dietitians seeing bariatric patients?
