weightloss surgery support group belfast

[sparky42]

hi does anyone know of any weightloss surgery support groups in the belfast area?

The Belfast Meetings are normally held on the first Saturday of every month, between 2-4pm. The meetings are held primarily to support both our pre and post op members, they also prove an excellent source of information between pre and post oppers and post and post oppers (if you get my drift).

We also feel it is important that the Belfast group keep up the pressure on the health boards here to ensure that they give the go ahead for the ops to be done here rather than us having to travel.
Our normal venue is Jury's hotel in Belfast city centre, although we are trying to find a more suitable meeting place.

Jurys Inn Belfast,
Fisherwick Place,
Great Victoria Street,
Belfast

The hotel is directly beside the Grand Opera House, you can contact us on [email protected]
