This group is designed to be small to encourage interaction and discussion amongst participants and the facilitator. Please plan to use camera and microphone function to interact on the Microsoft Teams platform. You may attend in preparation or following bariatric surgery.

Options On Demand Review Session
A quick refresher for your bariatric surgery post-op recommendations. We recommend you watch this video before you meet with your surgeon so you can be prepared and know if there are any remaining questions. This is also helpful to share with your support network so they understand ways that they can help you after surgery.
