Rachel Lebowitz LMSW 0 Posted April 18, 2011 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!

laney 172 Posted May 23, 2017 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.
