At HCA Florida Brandon Hospital, we understand the physical and emotional challenges one may face after weight-loss surgery, which is why we offer a Weight-Loss Surgery Support Group.

"This support group allows patients to connect with the resources the hospital has to offer, from dieticians to nurses to meal plans," explains Dr. Alpendre. "With a wealth of knowledge, participants can gain quality support to achieve their weight loss goals within a strong support group."

This local support group offers many benefits and is available to eligible patients who want additional support as they reach their weight-loss goals and improve their overall health. Join this support group to connect with peers and learn how to adjust and live a healthy lifestyle after weight-loss surgery.

Participants will have the opportunity to hear perspectives from other patients who are experiencing issues, such as:

• challenges in similar life situations,
• insight into obstacles ahead,
• comfort in knowing they are not alone in their journey, and
• resources for support.

This support group will also give participants an opportunity to learn from other weight-loss surgery patients and their struggles, encouraging them as they experience their own triumphs along the way.
