Support Groups -

Two support groups are offered for surgical weight loss patients:

Immediate post surgery support group is open to patients who have had bariatric surgery at MGH within the past three months. Dr. English leads the group in discussions on post surgical issues and concerns. Multidisciplinary team members are present to discuss issues such as nutrition and lifestyle changes.

This group meets every third Tuesday of the month from 4:30pm to 5:30pm EST in the Surgical Weight Loss conference room. Video conferencing is available upon request.

Ongoing support group is primarily for those who have had bariatric surgery including those who have had surgery at other centers. In addition, those who are considering bariatric surgery are welcome to attend. Dr. English facilitates the group and members of the multidisciplinary team are present to address issues and concerns. Occasionally, a guest speaker will lecture on bariatric-related topics.

This group meets every third Tuesday of the month from 5:45pm to 6:45pm EST in the MGH conference center. Video conferencing is available upon request.
