Losing weight can feel like an isolating experience, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, forming a community can help improve your weight loss results. A community is meant to help foster growth on your weight loss journey, but also be there to help when you fall into a rut.
Support groups offer bariatric patients to vent and offer advice to individuals who are going through a similar journey as them. Seeing someone else cope with the same struggles helps individuals form a sense of comradery – it’s them against the problem. This eliminates the lonely feelings that individuals can feel while trying to lose excess weight. Our support groups at WellStar are meant to be close-knit group of your biggest supporters. Unlike other support groups, WellStar aims to be interactive and unique. WellStar strays away from traditional support groups and instead forms close-knit bonds through collaborative engagement.
Find your community today by reaching out to WellStar to join one of their support groups. We’ll welcome you with open arms.
Our office has a Facebook page it called WellStar Comprehensive Bariatric Services 2. Please follow the page for update information from the office about support group meetings and more.
