Milton Hospital to Offer Monthly Weight Loss Surgery Support Groups
The weight loss surgery team at Milton Hospital will host free monthly support groups for weight loss surgery patients and those considering surgery. The support group will meet on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Nangeroni Education Center at Milton Hospital.
“These groups are a wonderful and convenient way for patients at one of the many stages of weight loss surgery to learn from others who have had similar experiences, and discuss their own health journeys and lifestyle goals,” said Charlene Chao, MD, Milton Hospital bariatric surgeon. “The support group is an integral part of both the decision to have weight loss surgery, and of the commitment to the lifestyle changes that make the surgery successful long-term.”
Each surgery candidate must attend at least one support group session. The support groups will cover topics such as:
- pre to post-operative care
- types of care patients will require before and after surgery
- how to maintain weight loss
- how to adapt to body type changes after surgery
The groups are a supplement to the informational weight loss surgery sessions that are also held monthly at Milton Hospital.
For more information or to register for this support group, call 617-696-0660.
