Making a complete lifestyle change is challenging and it is important to have support along the way. Attending support group helps validate the thoughts, feelings, and emotions bariatric patients go through before and after surgery. Support group also helps educate patients. There is a lot of misinformation on the internet. It is important to get the facts from your dietitian, bariatric coordinator, and mental health provider. People also can lose motivation after surgery. Support group helps motivate people to get back on track with diet and exercise. Lexington Surgery holds a monthly, free support group the first Tuesday of the month. Please join us!
