How do I sign up for Bariatric Lifestyle Group in Richmond?

March 19, 2006

seren.dipity2b,

I just received my acceptance letter from Richmond's Bariatric

Program. scheduled my Psych & Nutrition consult for next

month. After that - I will be scheduled for the orientation.

Do you know if the Bariatric Lifestyle Group that you are signed up

for is open for anyone to sign-up? I would love to start learning

more & networking with everyone.

Thanks,

Sue in Vacaville
