Marina Weight Loss Patient Support Groups
The day of your surgery may seem like the most important step in your weight loss journey. In reality, the day of your surgery is only the first step on the path to a healthier, happier lifestyle. The team at Marina Weight Loss at Marina Del Rey Hospital in coastal Los Angeles fully understands the special needs of weight loss surgery patients. We offer frequent support groups that allow you to connect with other surgery patients and seek advice from professionals.
Support groups give patients the opportunity to talk about personal issues related to their weight loss in a welcoming and friendly environment designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. In our experience, ongoing support after surgery helps to achieve the great level of success for our patients. Patients help keep each other motivated, celebrate small victories together, and provide perspective on the everyday challenges and successes that patients generally experience.
We offer three support group forums:
Patients who are less than 1 year post-op
Patients who are 1 year or more post-op
