Support Groups
Bariatric programs usually include a support group for patients. Support groups often are run by a psychologist, program coordinator, or dietician. This means that the group is moderated by a healthcare professional.
Support groups are an excellent resource. You'll find people who have similar wellness goals, who want to celebrate your successes, and who support you in challenging times. Support groups are devoted to these common experiences, so you can share your feelings in a safe environment.
If you are thinking about bariatric surgery, you may want to scout out a few bariatric programs' support groups and see our Patient Stories.
