Virtual Bariatric Surgery Support Group

Support group is highly encouraged. Studies show, patients who participate in support group lose more weight and keep it off longer. It is a great place to meet new friends on the same journey and help support from other people going through a similar experience. Support group can help you learn what to expect before and after surgery, learn about healthy eating patterns and cope with lifelong behavior change. Our group is open to those considering surgery, post-op patients, as well as family and friends supporting the patient undergoing bariatric surgery. We are inclusive of patients who have had surgery elsewhere attend our group. The format alternates between an open discussion and a learning topic with discussion with a licensed health care provider. Topics include nutrition, behavior health, physical activity, plastic surgery, and more. There is always time for social interaction and questions.
