Weight Loss Surgery Support Groups

A patient resource for support before and after surgery.

Sharp HealthCare's bariatric surgery support groups are free and open to the public — even patients from other weight-loss surgery programs can attend.

The meetings held in San Diego are facilitated by a licensed clinical social worker and a registered dietitian.
