You're Welcome at Barix Clinics' Support Groups
Losing significant weight brings many changes in your life - some you expect, others you
may not. After your consultation, you're encouraged to join one of dozens of local Barix Clinics Support Groups. You'll find
they're an important source of information, encouragement, and support. Support groups are an excellent opportunity to get
together with others who had surgery at Barix Clinics. You'll hear about what others are experiencing as they enter their
new lives. And, by sharing your feelings and experiences with people who can personally relate to them, you'll gain new insights...and
new friends. You can talk about:
Emotional changes - learn how to overcome issues in a welcoming environment.
Exercise challenges - other patients share secrets of success.
Get advice on how to overcome plateaus.
Body
changes such as excess skin - your group leader can provide you with a detailed informational guide, and Barix Clinics' Reconstructive
Surgeons periodically attend groups.
Relationship changes - learn from others
who've been there.
Support groups are a safe place to share and a welcome ear. Our main mission is to provide an
opportunity for you as a Barix Clinics patient to connect with other Barix Clinics patients in a positive, supportive atmosphere,
with educational information sessions to aid your progress, while sharing individual successes and challenges. You'll find
people at varying stages, both pre-op and post-op, coming together to provide support and encouragement, trading recipes,
and building new friendships.
Barix Clinics Support Group meetings are specifically for Barix Clinics patients, their supportive friends and family,
or those considering Barix Clinics' program.
