Weight Loss Surgery Support

Your Baylor weight loss surgery program team will be there to support you before, during and after your surgery, especially as you adjust to your new dietary guidelines.

Along with professional lifestyle counseling and psychological support, post-operative support groups comprised of fellow patients are also available. These groups feature speakers including physicians, dietitians and psychologists who discuss a variety of topics facing post-operative patients such as health and fitness, plastic surgery needs, nutrition and psychological issues that may arise after surgery. Participants are also able to question the professionals and then break into smaller groups with fellow patients to discuss issues and share personal stories regarding their recovery. A healthy recipe is offered each month and patients also often participate in other activities such as the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons "Walk from Obesity," developing a cookbook and organizing social gatherings and training sessions.
