CONNECTING THE BARIATRIC COMMUNITY

Founded in 1998, ObesityHelp’s mission is to educate, empower and support individuals affected by life-threatening obesity. ObesityHelp brings WLS patients, educators, product vendors and bariatric professionals together through online discussion, educational articles, bariatric friendly products & tools, and a motivating national conference.

Whether you’ve just begun researching weight loss surgery, are newly post-op, or an experienced WLS veteran, you are not alone. The ObesityHelp community is here to support you. There is strength in learning and sharing with others who face the same challenges. Together we can learn more; together we can do better.

Studies show that when people buddy-up with others, especially with weight loss, there is a higher success rate during the weight loss phase and maintenance.
