We strongly advise you to attend support group meetings to help you make the lifestyle changes you need. Studies have shown that those patients who regularly attend support groups are more successful with their weight loss than those who don’t. Support groups welcome pre-surgery as well as post-surgery patients.
Sacred Heart Hospital has two Bariatric Support Group meetings per month. The first support group meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the hospital auditorium. We also have a support group on the 3rd Thursday of every month at the Community Service Building next to Palmerton Hospital. That group meets from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. For more information about support groups, please call Terri Davis at 610-663-3362.
