Life After Surgery
Our care doesn’t end when you leave the operating room. We’re there through recovery and beyond to help you make the most of your new life. Many aspects of your health will improve after surgery, but it doesn’t happen magically. It is important to be committed to following a new and improved post-operative lifestyle, including being proactive in dealing with potential risks and discomforts associated with surgery.
Support Groups
Weight loss surgery is only the first step. Lifestyle changes are the next step and will be an ongoing effort in reaching your weight loss goals. To help you accomplish these goals, we offer ongoing support and encourage you to attend our free meetings. If you are thinking about having weight loss surgery and want to talk directly with other people that have already undergone bariatric surgery, please attend our monthly support group. This is a great way to meet other people and learn about their experiences firsthand.
Our free bariatric support group meets the last Thursday of every month at 6 p.m. in the dining area at DeTar Hospital North, 101 Medical Drive. For more information, call our Bariatric Coordinator at (361) 788-2613
