Support Groups

At OXFORD BARIATRIC, we believe that pre-operative and post-operative support groups are a very important aspect of the success of surgical weight loss patients. The groups also provide needed support for prospective patients and the patients’ support team members, i.e., family, friends and significant others. The Surgical Weight Loss Support Group affords an opportunity for patients to share their victories, concerns and ideas with others in a non-clinical setting – surrounded by people who understand and support their goals. This secure and friendly environment is a benefit to all who have had surgery, as well as those who are interested in learning, as they relax in a comfortable atmosphere and gain insight into the surgical weight loss journey. Dr. King, other medical professionals and related speakers are often present to share helpful information regarding diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and other pertinent issues.

Studies have shown that bariatric patients who regularly attend support group meetings and are compliant in following up with their surgeons have the greatest long-term success.

We urge you to join us for a free Surgical Weight Loss Support Group before and/or after surgery. Even if you are are only considering weight loss surgery, we encourage you to come visit. Call our office for more information regarding the Free Support Groups.
