Support Groups

St. Vincent Physician Network-Weight Management offers ongoing support to patients through support from staff and other surgical weight loss patients. Support groups meet monthly and are available for pre-op and post operative patients. Attending support groups will help increase your ongoing and long term success. You will learn how to stay on your weight loss program and how to get back on track if you have a lapse.
