East Bay Bariatric Support Group
ABOUT
JOIN US TODAY!! Founded in 2001, East Bay Bariatric is a peer support group that meets monthly at the Alameda Hospital in Alameda, California. It's just us patients supporting each other on this amazing and sometimes scary journey called bariatric or weight loss surgery (WLS). No doctors, nurses, or bariatric coordinators attend or lead our meetings; it really is just us patients speaking freely with each other. Additionally, we are not affiliated with any specific procedure, insurance carrier or medical practice. All are welcome.
Meetings are free and held the third Saturday of every month. Registration and membership are not required. Whether you are considering, are pre-op, newly post-op or your surgery was years ago, there is a place for you in our group! We are a great way for you to "give back."
As you know, WLS is not for everyone and it is certainly not the "easy way out" from obesity. Even after the weight is gone, long-term support is critical to your success, therefore, we are always here for you. If you have regained any of your weight, please come to meetings! Pre-ops need to learn from you too. You will not be judged and you are certainly not alone.
Our group is recognized by Bariatric Support Centers International and ObesityHelp.com. Our leader is certified by both organizations.
We look forward to seeing you. Explore our site, www.eastbaybariatric.org. Let us know if you have any questions. Follow us on Twitter: @EBayBariatric.
