An integral part of your decision to have safe weight loss surgery is the commitment to follow-up. We want you to be successful; therefore, we have designed support groups for you to attend and resources to guide you through the entire weight loss surgery process.
The learning, sharing and support you receive from your peers is a great way to keep your weight loss motivation high. By participating in a safe weight loss surgery support group, you are more likely to reach your goals than if you tried alone.
Each support group features a speaker on a subject of interest to people who are anticipating or who have had safe weight loss surgery. Time of questions and discussion follows every featured speaker. All pre and post-operative weight loss surgery patients and their family members are welcome to join us.
The safe weight loss surgery support group meets the second Thursday of every month at 5:30 p.m. in the NEW Location: Main Campus OFFICE Location - 6th floor - M Building.
