Before and after your surgery, you'll have the opportunity to attend bariatric
patient support groups to better prepare you and your support person for
what to expect before, during, and after surgery. The encouragement and
guidance received through a support group can help keep motivation up.
The Weight Management team at Independence Health System is committed
to your success and has created programs to guide you through the entire
weight loss journey.
Our support group sessions include:
Each session features a subject matter expert or a collaborative approach
among others with similar experiences that will explain what you need
to know and answer any questions or concerns.
An opportunity for you and your support person to meet post-surgical patients
or current patients who are working toward their goals.
The opportunity to learn about lifestyle changes needed and how best to
prepare and achieve sustainable results.
A chance to meet staff and other friendly, supportive bariatric patients
who will help guide you throughout the process.
Information on the support groups will be shared with you by the office
staff. Please contact your office if you have any questions.
