Yes! Support groups are an excellent outlet for patients to talk about their issues with people who know what it’s like. Patients help keep each other motivated, celebrate small victories together, encourage one another and provide perspective on the everyday successes and challenges that come with life after weight-loss surgery. You should know, we have our own support group! The Perth Bariatrics Support Group on Facebook started to support our patients who live in rural WA so that they do not feel alone in their journey. However, the group has evolved into an unparalleled resource for all our patients. Misinformation can spread in patient-run support groups, forums or websites, so Dr. Rao and team closely monitor the highly active group of hundreds. They are at hand to answer your medical questions. Former patients have cultivated a vibrant community by sharing their uplifting personal stories. Go on, be inspired by more success stories than you can count. Share your challenges, goals and successes with Perth Bariatrics Support Group today!
