You're not alone in gastric bypass and gastric banding surgery.
When it comes to gastric bypass or gastric banding surgery, it’s all about seeing results and reaching your long term goals. At Pacific Bariatric, we’re dedicated to providing the tools and resources you need to get there. And celebrate when you do. Below are just a few ways to stay connected.
Our group meetings are the backbone of the support network for gastric bypass and gastric banding surgery patients, presenting the opportunity to interact with others who are experiencing similar challenges, successes and changes. The meetings are designed to be a positive, sharing environment. Support groups are held in select locations, typically meeting once a month and occasionally feature professionals such as surgeons, psychologists, plastic surgeons, personal trainers or nutritionists as guest speakers to help educate our bariatric patients on living a healthier lifestyle. We encourage all patients to attend. A survey by Dr. Sallie Hildebrandt has shown that patients who attend support groups regularly have better long term success.
Our exercise programs are specifically tailored to your needs. We strive to develop tailored exercise programs that are effective enough so you can achieve your weight loss goals but safe enough so you can maintain a steady pace recovery. Exercise programs are only offered in San Diego.
Our annual reunion is another great event to be a part of. Each year, Pacific Bariatric arranges a special reunion event that gives all of us a unique opportunity to celebrate each other’s successes. You’ll see old friends, meet new ones, and leave invigorated.
