- Our two support groups, called Connections, meet monthly. They are open to everyone who is thinking about weight loss surgery, has had an operation or those in recovery. A support group provides a variety of benefits. First of all, it offers an environment where participants understand where you have been, where you are or where you will be in this journey. They understand the problems you face every day. Many of them have the same problems and can share the ways that they have dealt with them. Our support groups are facilitated by a psychologist. There is an educational component to each session as well.
Long-term studies show that people who actively participate in support groups do better in terms of weight loss and satisfaction with the outcomes of their operations, and they function better. Connections are not restricted to people who are being seen by our surgeons, and is not limited in size. We hope that you find our groups useful!
