It is proven that Bariatric Patients who attend support groups after their surgery have more success with their weight loss as well as success keeping off their weight the rest of their life.  A support group provides an opportunity for people to share personal experiences and feelings, coping strategies, or firsthand information about diseases or treatments. The common experience among members of a support group often means they have similar feelings, worries, everyday problems, treatment decisions or treatment side effects. Participating in a group provides you with an opportunity to be with people who are likely to have a common purpose and likely to understand one another.

For many people, a health-related support group may fill a gap between medical treatment and the need for emotional support.   This is good news for your Center because when you have happy, successful patients they talk about the good news and that means more patients for you.

If your center offers a Support Group for your patients, they may not attend or are unable to participate in because they do not live in proximity of the office.

Bariatric Registered Dietitian Services has a solution: No matter whether your patients are local or fly in for the surgery from other locations, your center can offer them a support group they can attend monthly via phone or computer.  At Bariatric Registered Dietitian Services, we provide support groups for your office exclusively, provided by Video Conferencing with Susan Peacock a Registered Dietitian.  I know the importance of Bariatric Support Groups pre and post surgery to assure that patients are successful with their weight loss.  

I offer Bariatric support groups through my website as well as for surgeons all over the country via Video Conferencing.  I work hard on guiding my patients with their nutrition needs and help them adopt the preventive health approach through food, exercise, reducing stress, and bringing joy to their lives.  I also have video interviews with top professional and articles that patience can benefit tremendously from.  

It is as easy as deciding what date and time you would like per month for your office and Bariatric Registered Dietitian Services will do the rest.  Each patient you invite will receive a link for the Support Group. They sign up and get a notification that they are in the group and will get reminders via email and text about the group.  You can have more than one per month and change the date and time as you see fit to accommodate as many patients as possible.

My aim is to have all results lead to a successful weight loss for my patients’ post-surgery. I also offer guidance on how to maintain your weight loss, along with increasing your health for the rest of your life. Guidance is always available post surgery when you need it.  If you would to provide a specific topic for your Support Group, that is possible as well.

Provide the best care for all your patients by offering a post-Bariatric Surgery Support Group with a Registered Dietitian. Support groups help patients through difficulties they may be having by providing a community of patients that offer ideas and suggestions as well and makes each patient empowered to take on their new life.

With the recent changes to the world and how we live in it, remote group supporter can be a bridge to our patience life-long success.
