Support Groups

We encourage you to attend obesity support groups both before and after your surgery. They are a terrific way to meet other people who are living with obesity issues, undergoing surgery, or have completed weight-loss surgery. People in our support groups are familiar with the questions and concerns you may have, and can provide essential emotional support in a friendly, casual, and caring environment.

We are happy to provide you with information on these groups during your consultations with your surgeon.
