Support Group:

Support group meetings are open to all current and prospective patients of Jacksonville Weight Loss Center.  Meetings are held the first and third Thursday of each month.  Meetings start at 7 p.m. and are held at our office at 3236 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville, Florida.  Meetings are led by our Weight Loss Specialist, Jody DeBord and our Program Coordinator and Lap-Band patient, Karma Hastings.

Topics for meetings have included:  Exercise, emotional eating, addiction to carbs.  Some meetings are open topics to allow members to gain and give support to each other in areas that they have identified.  Guest speakers speak on topics related to nutrition, behavioral changes, cooking with herbs.  Periodically members conduct a clothing exchange.
