Bariatric Weight Loss Virtual Support Groups

Hoag Support Groups are designed for sharing personal insight and real world experiences about the weight loss journey with an intent to help patients create and maintain the necessary lifestyle changes to achieve success long term. We emphasize the importance of all weight loss pillars of success – incorporating physical activity, developing healthy coping mechanisms and establishing a strong support system through support groups and community.

As a group, you gain insight into challenges others are facing and tips for success. More importantly, you find comfort in knowing you are not alone in your journey.

What is Bariatric Surgery?

Also known as weight-loss surgery, bariatric surgery limits the amount of food you’re able to comfortably eat and/or decreases your absorption of food and calories. Bariatric surgery is considered the most successful weight-loss treatment option because it modifies gut hormones that signal hunger, resetting the body’s metabolism.

What Are the Benefits?

Weight loss surgery does not just treat the disease of obesity, it positively impacts a multitude of weight-related conditions such as asthma, depression, obstructive sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease, among others.

Am I a Candidate?

Most candidates for bariatric surgery have at least 100 pounds to lose, or a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 or a BMI of at least 35 and a weight-related health complication, such as Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, joint disorders and gastrointestinal conditions. Many people who qualify for bariatric surgery don’t realize their health insurance may cover the costs. Our team can help you determine your eligibility for weight loss surgery and launch you on a path to a healthier you.

How Safe is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is safer than getting your gallbladder removed. With minimally invasive surgical techniques, patients experience less pain, fewer complications, a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.
