Location within the Medical Center subject to change. Patients
report to front desk for different location or a note will be posted on the door.
Our monthly group meetings held here at St. Vincent's Medical Center are by far
one of the most important steps used to help you achieve your weight-loss goals.
We consider these group meetings to be mandatory, although we know
we cannot make you attend. Be aware that these support groups are an important part
of our Bariatric program for education, support, nutritional, and medical advice.
Group meetings provide peer support from others who have had bariatric surgery,
allow you to learn about the surgery first hand from others, and let you share experiences.
You may find it reassuring to hear other's viewpoints on common concerns and to
get additional information from the counselor. It is also a wonderful opportunity
to make new friends and be with people who share what you are experiencing.
We also occasionally provide periodic guest speakers to expand your knowledge on
obesity surgery related topics. Research has shown that patients who attend support
groups regularly are more successful with their weight loss and mental adjustment
than people who do not, especially long term.
You will find these meetings helpful in many ways.
