SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS
Your success is assisted by the ongoing support of those around you, whether it be fellow patients, family, or friends. The support group at Methodist Hospital is open to all patients. You do not need to be a patient of Methodist Hospital's Surgical Weight Loss Program to attend. Whether you are a pre-op patient, just looking for information, or have already had surgery, you are invited to join us. The meetings are informal, with presentations made by our program dietician and occasionally guest speakers. A variety of topics are covered so that members can have the necessary support and interaction they need to be successful.
