Transcript: Connecting with a support group

Patient Stories

Hear from other patients about the unique challenges and successes they have experienced on their weight loss journey.

These patient stories are from real patients who have had weight loss surgery. Actual results after surgery will vary with each individual. The opinions expressed by patients should not be taken as medical advice. All surgery presents risk. Weight, age, and medical history determine your specific risks. Consult your doctor to see if weight loss surgery may be right for you.

Stephen: The one thing that perhaps you need to do is to break out of that comfort zone. Especially, if not before (surgery), definitely after, and that’s connect with a support group. I, at first, wasn’t that thrilled about joining a support group myself. I thought, I’ve got Zohar, the two of us can do it on our own.

The people we’ve met in the support group have taught us so much and continue to be, if not necessarily teaching us, just a wonderful part of our lives. They have really become close friends and just, we couldn’t ask for a better group of people to know.
