Weight Loss Surgery (Bariatric Surgery)

The decision to have weight loss (bariatric) surgery involves significant life changes. Your long-term success depends on getting the right support to help you make life-long changes in diet and exercise to support the benefits of surgery.

Our postoperative nutrition support includes:

• Individualized nutrition follow-up
• Shared Medical Appointments (SMA) in a relaxed group setting

Support Group

We also offer a free, patient-led support group for people who have had or are contemplating weight loss surgery. In our support group you'll be able to:

• Learn about other patients' lifestyle changes and experiences
• Share your concerns and successes

We welcome people who have had any type of weight loss surgery, by any surgeon, at any facility.
