We encourage patients, both before and after surgery, to attend support groups. Support groups offer patients an opportunity to meet others who have had bariatric surgery as well as learn practical strategies and advice for long-term weight-loss success after surgery.
Support Groups are held on the 1st and 4th Wednesdays of every month from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM
**4th Wednesday Support Group does not have scheduled topics each month. This group provides support for the emotional, mental, and interpersonal challenges associated with losing weight and keeping it off.
Location:
Ohio State's Martha Morehouse Medical Pavilion
2050 Kenny Road
Columbus, OH 43221
