Depending on your family situation, where you live, or your doctor, it can sometimes feel like you’re alone on your weight loss journey. If you’re in need of community, check out support groups!
Joining a support group can grant you access to encouragement and useful strategies from others who are on similar journeys. Research actually shows support group participants often report higher satisfaction with their surgery outcomes–and better adherence to long-term lifestyle changes.
Weight loss surgery is a transformative process that comes with a rollercoaster of emotions. Having a group to share these feelings with, who understand what you’re going through, is invaluable.
How do you join?
Online support groups can be found across social media. Try searching places like Facebook and Reddit as a starting point. In-person groups are usually accessible through your surgeon’s office or your local hospital’s wellness program.Remember: You are not alone.
