After weight loss surgery people experience new challenges both physically and emotionally. In the beginning, relearning what to eat is often very difficult as their whole relationship to food has changed. It can also be very intimidating for many to start a daily exercise program for the first time.
New Jersey Bariatric Center Surgeons always refer to the surgery as one “tool” on a path to a healthier lifestyle. Weight loss success is made up of many components beyond surgery; one of them is the SUPPORT GROUP. New Jersey Bariatric Center’s Support group is run by Dr. Goyal, Dr. Forrester, Dr. Jack OR a registered dietitian with lectures on exercise, nutrition, image changes etc... Guest speakers are regularly invited to speak on healthy living. The remainder of the evening is for New Jersey Bariatric Center patients to share information. This meeting is for all patients, not just those who may be having problems. Hearing success stories is extremely important to patients who are struggling with their new lifestyle.
