Monthly bariatric support group meetings are a perfect opportunity to meet prospective patients and post-op patients and learn what to expect through every step of the process.

Support groups are also a definite key to long-term success following surgery. Frequent attendance and involvement will help you stay on track, remain motivated, and continue learning new information to overcome every hurdle.

Simply select the nearest star to you from the map on the right, for meeting and contact details of support groups in your area.
