Surgical Weight Loss Support Group

Behavior modification and emotional support and behavior are the keys to your success after weight loss surgery. That’s why we, here at McLaren Bariatric and Metabolic Institute, organized a weight loss support group that will help lay the foundation for life after surgery. Group members—surrounded by people who understand and support their goals—receive up-to-date weight loss information. Moreover, they have the opportunity to discuss personal and professional issues that arise from losing weight.

Our monthly weight loss support groups provide a secure setting for patients undergoing the process of making significant lifestyle changes. Support sessions, such as these, have been shown to directly increase the chances of short- and long-term patient success following weight loss surgery. Regardless of where a person is in relation to the weight loss surgery process—just considering it or at any point prior to or after the weight loss procedure, he or she is welcome to attend these group sessions.

Free support sessions are conducted by a multi-disciplinary team. In 2013, sessions will be held on:
