Holiday Party

Five Star Party Five Star Patients Five Star Successes

As part of our GSBWC difference and 5-star offering to our patients, we sponsor and throw an Annual Holiday party (this year is our 5th Annual Patient Holiday event) on the 1st Monday in December for our patients and their guests.  Free to all our patients and their honored guests, it is our way of saying Thank YOU to our patients. It is a privilege to be part of our patient's life; their journey and their ongoing success.

The evening is designed for fun, celebration and to bring the community together (they love bringing their families and those that have supported them in their community) to enjoy the fruits (low calorie of course) of their commitment to a healthy life and a life open to a new way of being. Whether you are in the process and haven't had surgery yet; had surgery shortly before the party (yes we have something for you too) or had surgery from 2003 to present, all patients, both North and South, in good standing with the office are Welcome!

Gourmet bariatric food; raffles; dancing; surprises and a professional photographer you receive at the end of the event is just a sampling of the program of events that take place each year at our Patient's Holiday Event. We are always looking to add new surprises to our Holiday Party; patients confirm for the following year's party a year in advance! It is a gala not to be missed!

• 2010 was our first year at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ (after years holding it at the Chanticler in Short Hills, NJ) and over 535 patients and patient guests attended the 2010 event! It was a fun, moving and life affirming night; a time to reflect on the accomplishments of our patients throughout the years and share their success in a fun and radiant way.

• No cost to the patients, their guests or the select group of affiliated physicians and support people that support our patients; we pull out all the stops. We want our patients to feel our appreciation of THEM for allowing us to do what we do and make a difference in their lives and the lives of their loved ones.  Patients get their pictures taken by a professional photographer (the line forms quickly!) and that not only receive a professional quality photo of themselves at the end of the event (Thank you Jerry) we also put them on our website so they can print their own pictures for copies...no limit...and again No Charge to any of our patients.

• Our 2011 Holiday Party is Monday December 5th 2011 from 6pm to 10pm at the same exquisite location; The Venetian in Garfield, NJ.  We have new surprises in store for the patients including: a televised interview with 8-time Emmy Awarding winning journalist, Rich Noonan's, Dr. Bilof, Dr. Yurcisin and 10 patients on the miracles and results of bariatric surgery!  The premier airing will be on 12/5/11 so all of our patients can be surprised and proud of being part of the GSBWC Difference!  Shhhhh - remember it is a surprise!  If you are at home on 12/5/11 at 8:30pm EDT, be sure to tune into RNN and see How GSBWC is making a difference!
