Centegra Bariatric Surgery Support Group
The Centegra Weight-Loss Surgery Center bariatric surgery support group is the heart of our weight loss program. The group meets twice a month and includes patients in all phases of the weight loss surgery experience. The group is facilitated by a registered nurse, and the main mission is to assist, inspire, educate and support patients before, during, and after bariatric surgery.
Ongoing support is an important component to achieving long-term success in the fight against obesity!
Through our support group, you can:
- Learn about other patients’ day-to-day struggles with obesity, their successes as they learn how to lose weight, and share your own.
- Hear guest speakers, including physicians, registered nurses, dietitians, counselors and trainers, who provide valuable education on everything from BMI, to nutritious diets, to diabetes information, to exercise, to staying positive
- Celebrate your successes with those who have experienced the journey
