Support Groups
We offer a monthly Bariatric support group here at Vanguard Westlake Hospital on the third Monday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in conference room A –D, facilitated by our Bariatric Coordinator Julianne Rizzo RN. We usually have a guest presenter that will discuss various topics from dealing with “eating out” and “Cooking for your family” following Bariatric Surgery to organizing a clothing exchange, and open discussion regarding plastic surgery. The group is comprised of pre-op & post-op patients, and is open free of charge to any person in the community who cares to attend. We feel we have created a group for people with common experiences and concerns who provide emotional and moral support for one another.
No registration required.
