Support Groups
| We hold a Support Group on the first Saturday of each month at 11am, in Suite 400 of the Harper Professional Building. Our monthly support group provides a secure, warm setting for patients to share their stories or ask questions. You can just sit and listen too! Group members also learn and are provided information on nutrition, exercise, and behavior modification skills. The sessions are generally run by the patients themselves and moderated by either a nutritionist, exercise physiotherapist, clinical coordinator or physician. Regardless of whether a person is just considering bariatric surgery or at any point prior to or after the weight loss procedure, he or she is welcome to attend the sessions. |
