SWLC Support Group

Many people say the support group network is one of the most valuable components of SWLC's program. We meet on a regular basis and are available to each other informally by telephone.

Our support group is designed for patients to help other patients adjust to the surgery and their new and healthier lifestyles. The groups are led by an SWLC patient.

SWLC pioneered the support group concept for obesity surgery patients. Many bariatric surgical practices model their support groups after ours.

Our meetings are open to prospective & established surgical patients. Reservations are not necessary to attend. Contact us for additional information.
