Bariatric Support Group
Women & Children’s Hospital offers a monthly support group for our bariatric patients. These support group meetings provide education and on-going support to post-operative patients and those considering a weight loss procedure. Topics include exercise, food choices, healthy lifestyles changes, body image, emotional changes, recipes, goal setting, protein needs, weight loss plateaus and more.
Most attendees feel that these meetings help them stay on track with their weight loss and health goals. We encourage you to attend as many support groups as possible prior to and after surgery. These meetings will equip you with information and provide you with tools to assist in the lifestyle changes needed to obtain long-term success.
Support group meetings are open to all bariatic patients. Even if you did not have your surgery at our hospital, we still want to help you on your weight loss journey.
Support group meetings are held at 6 PM, on the second Thursday of every month in the Ben Mount Boardroom. A light dinner is provided. Support group attendees are welcome to bring a family member or friend. For more information, call our Bariatric Services Department at 475-4760.
