Every other month a support group meeting is held for patients who already underwent surgery. The support groups are focused at specific problems these patients may experience with management strategies. Invited speakers often join these groups to cover pertinent topics in nutrition, psychology, post surgical physical therapy and exercise programs, body contouring and recent advances in weight loss surgery.
