Bariatric Surgery Support Group
The Bariatric Surgery Weight Loss Support Group meets the first Wednesday from 3:30 - 5 p.m. and again from 6 - 7:30 p.m. each month at FMC.
You can expect a 30-minute education session by one of our staff members, followed by a 60-minute interactive open discussion and question-and-answer session.
These support groups are open to all bariatric surgery patients, regardless of where they have had surgery.
We also encourage patients planning on surgery to attend at least one support group prior to surgery.
All classes are on the first Wednesday of every month.
The afternoon class is 3:30 - 5 p.m. and the evening class is 6 - 7:30 pm.
