The widespread use of support groups has provided weight loss surgery patients an excellent opportunity to discuss their various personal and professional issues. Most learn, for example, that weight loss surgery will not immediately resolve existing emotional issues or heal the years of damage that morbid obesity might have inflicted on their emotional well-being. Las Vegas has many support groups in place to assist you with short-term and long-term questions and needs, including the most effective exercise and diets after bariatric surgery. Most bariatric surgeons who frequently perform weight loss surgery will tell you that ongoing post-surgical support helps produce the greatest level of success for their patients in their life after bariatric surgery.
I had my surgery in Las Vegas through Surgical Weight Control Centers with Dr. James Atkinson. They offer several wonderful support groups and healthy eating classes for their patients or those who are thinking about becoming patients and want to hear what it is like from people who’ve had the surgery.
Along with this online support group, I have listed some of the groups the Surgical Weight Control Center offers below. Reply to this thread if you know of other local support groups.
