Finding Support

Many successful gastric bypass surgery patients say that their support network helped them immensely in maintaining their new healthy lifestyle changes. From family and friends to bariatric program support groups, there is a wealth of options available for people interested in weight Loss surgery. Our support group is an excellent resource. You’ll find people who share your goals of health and wellness. It is a forum for celebrating success, such as the improvement or resolution of co-morbidities. The support group is devoted to people who have common experiences, who can share their feelings in a safe environment and develop relationships that can contribute to improved physical and emotional health.

If you are thinking about gastric bypass surgery, and you want to learn more about the patient’s perspective or help reluctant family and friends understand, attend our support group meeting.

We meet every third Thursday of the month.
