Description

Bariatric Surgery Monthly Support Group The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Support group at Crozer-Chester Medical Center was established in 2004 and continues as a free, monthly, in-person, event for patients who have had or are preparing to have bariatric surgery. Our support group enjoins participants contending with similar adversities, working toward common goals, in a safe environment to discuss experiences and challenges. Through participation, group members empower one another to work through challenges and serve as role models to each other. Support persons are encouraged to attend and observe in order to gain a better understanding of the experiences their loved ones encounter, as well as to learn how to be there for them. Registration and Arrival: The support group is open to registration each month. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, space is limited and pre-registration of all participants (pre-op, post-op, & support person) is required. Support persons are limited to one person, per patient, per meeting. All support persons must be at least 18 years of age. Upon receipt of registration confirmation please complete the Rules & Code of Conduct attestation. This attestation must be submitted to the facilitator prior to the start of every meeting.
