BAPTIST HEALTH has been designated
a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American
Society for Bariatric Surgery. |
Support Groups
Most bariatric surgeons agree - ongoing support after surgery leads
to the greatest level of success. Support groups give you
a great opportunity to discuss personal or professional issues that
arise from surgery or from a history of obesity. And they allow
you to surround yourself with people who understand and support
your goals, which directly increases your chances of long-term success.
The Bariatric Support Group will also help you develop realistic
expectations. That is, weight loss surgery will not immediately
resolve existing emotional difficulties, or heal the years of damage
caused by a lifetime of being overweight.
