Losing Inches ForEver! (L.I.F.E.) Support Group

 

Welcome to L.I.F.E. – Losing Inches ForEver!  LIFE is the monthly Support Group for the Advanced Bariatric Care and Weight Loss Management Program at Summa Health System.

The purpose of the Support group is to help each Bariatric patient reach the best possible outcome, where nutrition, exercise and behavior modification are reinforced.  The Support Group gives the patients an opportunity to discuss personal or professional issues that arise from weight loss surgery, or from a history of obesity.  The group also allows patients to surround themselves with people who understand and support their goals, and to help them develop realistic expectations and learn behavior modification skills.
L.I.F.E. is a group that is designed for the patients and facilitated by Bariatric Care Staff members. Patients are given the opportunity to participate and help administer the group.

Support Group meetings are held the 4th Wednesday of every month (with the exception of April, November and December). Check the location of the meeting as listed below:

Meeting Hours:  6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
