Support Group Meetings
Surgical weight loss support group meetings are an excellent source of information about weight loss surgery. These meetings are attended by people who are considering weight loss surgery, as well as those who have completed their surgery. Groups discuss the pros and cons of weight loss surgery. Topics covered include the procedure, nutrition, psychology, exercise and plastic surgery. A bariatric surgeon and staff from the Hamot Bariatric Surgery Center are available to answer questions during these meetings. It is important that you attend at least three support group meetings before surgery. You should continue to attend these meetings for at least one year after surgery.
Please call (814) 877-6997 for more information about support group meetings.
