    Support Group

    Our Bariatric Connections support group is facilitated by a bariatric coordinator and is open to patients who have had bariatric surgery, along with those preparing for surgery. Family members and friends of patients also are welcome. The purpose of this group is to create an environment where members can actively help each other achieve or maintain weight loss and an active lifestyle. Information also will be provided to promote success following weight loss surgery.

    This group will meet the fourth Wednesday of the month from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in:

    • Eau Claire: Amalia Conference Room, Luther Campus, Chestnut Street Entrance, Mayo Clinic Health System
    • Menomonie: Education Center, Mayo Clinic Health System

    The group is free, and no registration is necessary.

    The choice to have weight loss surgery is only the first step in a life-long commitment to change yourself, your choices and even your mind. Doing it alone is almost impossible — and unnecessary. We want you to succeed, and we're here with you for the long haul.

    Call 715-838-3636 if you have questions about this group.
