Morbid obesity is a life-threatening disease that affects 15 million people in America. A landmark study published in the October 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that bariatric surgery improved or resolved type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and high cholesterol in the vast majority of morbidly obese patients.

Attendance at a seminar is recommended before surgery.

When: April 9th, 2009 at 7:00 PM
Location: Saint Peter's University Hospital

Weight loss surgery support group will meet at 6:00 PM at St Peter's University Hospital. Their support group is designed for both pre-op and post-op bariatric surgery patients, as well as any family and friends who would like to participate.

One of the most important aspects of the weight loss surgery journey is the support that patients receive. Especially the support from others, like themselves, who have experienced the weight loss journey themselves.

It is important to understand that their support groups are for all patients, not just those who may be experiencing problems. Discussions, with people who can relate with you, are an extremely important part of embracing your new lifestyle.
