Surgical Weight Loss Support Groups

Choosing to have bariatric surgery may be among the most important health decisions you'll make in your lifetime. Getting to know other people who share experiences similar to yours can contribute a great deal to your long-term success. Whether you're contemplating surgical weight loss or have already had surgery, we have a support group to meet your needs. We welcome patients of any surgeon or hospital. Participants share experiences and answer each others' questions in a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere. Health professionals, including behaviorists, dietitians, physicians and physical therapists, attend these meetings on a rotating basis to offer guidance and up-to-date information.
