Community Programs & Support Groups

Bariatric (Gastric Bypass) Information Sessions and Support Groups

Four groups for individuals who have had bariatric surgery, those considering having the surgery or those who would like to know more about it. The surgery can be an effective method of controlling “morbid” obesity (more than 100 pounds overweight) but often there are strong psychological and emotional issues that also need to be addressed for persons struggling with this level of obesity. For more information on any of the groups below, please call (860) 358-8760.
