Support Groups

At the Metabolic Medicine and Surgery Institute at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, we are committed to healing your mind, body and spirit. Surgery is just the beginning of a longer journey toward wellness and our staff of weight loss professionals is here for you every step of the way with the weight loss help, bariatric support groups, encouragement and post gastric bypass surgery education you need to lose the weight and keep it off for a lifetime.

To that end, we’ve created the following bariatric support groups for patients and prospective patients so they can share with others who are also on this journey and get the gastric bypass support they need.

Beginning the Journey Support Group

This support group is designed for those patients who have just completed their surgery through those who have passed the 1 ½ year milestone in their journey. Each session covers a wide range of emotional and psychological issues related to obesity surgery and post procedure, including body image, dietary choice, family matter and managing relationships.
