4Weight-Loss Surgery Support Group
Have you had bariatric surgery? Do you feel like you need extra guidance and understanding from your peers? Attend our free, monthly support group facilitated by a licensed healthcare professional. Pre-surgery and post-surgery patients discuss concerns, successes, and learn strategies to keep off the weight. All are welcome, and no appointment is necessary.
Bariatric Facebook Group
After weight-loss surgery, it can be challenging to stay focused on your weight-loss goals. We encourage patients to join our WVU Bariatric Facebook group, where you can find online support before and after your surgery. To view the most up-to-date schedule or links to attend virtual meetings, please join the Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/wvuweightloss.
