North Bariatric Support Groups

We know support groups are incredibly valuable for patients who have had surgery, as well as those that are preparing to start their weight loss journey, so most of our support groups are now available virtually.

Please call 317-621-7771 for more information about support groups.

Support Groups

Community Bariatric Surgeons knows the importance of support in your overall success. Studies show patients who attend support groups have greater excess weight loss than those who do not. Join program staff and other weight loss surgery patients in group discussions and educational events on a weekly basis. Check our calendar for an exact listing of topics, dates and times.
