Home > Our Services > Bariatric Weight Loss > Support Groups

Support Groups are important to the success of every patient who has undergone weight reduction surgery. The St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence proudly offers support groups free of charge. Groups are scheduled to allow you an opportunity to attend at least one per month, and are open to anyone who has had bariatric surgery or is seeking bariatric surgery.

Post-surgical patients may attend our General Support Groups, One Year+ post-op group, or our Exercise Class conducted by our exercise specialist.

NewBees is intended for new post-surgical patients and is facilitated by our Bariatric Registered Dietitians.
