Support Groups

The decision to have bariatric surgery involves significant life changes. According to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, long-term success depends not just on the surgical procedure, but also on access to services that support you in making permanent changes in diet, fitness and emotional well-being.

We have 2 support group options:

• Patient-led monthly support group meeting at the PAMF Palo Alto Center. For details and dates of meetings, please visit our Weight Loss Surgery Support Group page.


• Support group meeting led by Bariatric Nurse coordinator monthly at Sequoia Hospital. Contact Marcie Bronzburg, RN, Bariatric Surgery Nurse Coordinator at Sequoia Hospital at (650) 482-6152 for schedule, location and to RSVP.
