Open to weight loss surgery patients who are at
least 9 months post op.This is a therapy group as opposed to a support group.For those
of you not familiar with group therapy, it is far less social than a support group.We will be seriously
focused on personal changes members want to make.Participants will be working together to accomplish their
goals and attendance at every meeting is important, not casual.Recovery is hard work and an important part
of the process involves prioritizing self-care.This is especially important for bariatric surgery post-ops
because so many have spent a lifetime putting themselves and their own health needs last.Long term recovery
requires changing that.You and your recovery from morbid obesity must be a top priority.This
becomes even more urgent in the second and third year after surgery when the novelty has worn off, the compliments have disappeared,
and old patterns of coping lurk behind every challenge and personal disappointment.If you find yourself
frequently falling into compulsive old patterns, this group can be an excellent resource for challenging those behaviors and
avoiding full blown relapse. We meet every other week for 6 sessions.
