Education & Support Groups

Healthy Lifestyle Class

You are now home and slowly starting to return to your normal day-to-day routine.  Often times it is during this recovery period that many questions start to develop.  Through weight loss surgery, your surgeon has given you a tool to help you lose weight.  It is important that you learn how to successfully utilize this tool for long-term weight loss success. 

For this reason, you will be required to attend the Healthy Lifestyle Class for Post Bariatric Surgery Patients. This class is free and will provide tips on eating right, exercising and taking care of your health needs.  You may attend this class one to four weeks after surgery.
