You are not alone in this. Far from it. So we created our News and Updates Section to let you know you have as much help as you need. 

 

When it comes down to it, it is all about seeing results and reaching your goals after bariatric surgery. We want to help you get there and be there to celebrate when you do. So, here are a number of ways you can stay connected.

Our group meetings are the backbone of the support network for gastric bypass 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 enviroment.

 

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 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 after gastric bypass. Exercise programs are only offered in San Diego.

 

Our annual reunion is another great even to be a part of. Each year, we at Pacific Bariatric arrange 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.
