Bariatric Support Groups and Programs

As part of our work at the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence, we believe in supporting our patients long after surgery. One of the many ways we do this is through our statewide support groups.

Each group is scheduled to allow patients the opportunity to attend at least one meeting per month. These groups are open to anyone who has had—or is considering—bariatric surgery.

• Support groups in gray boxes are specialty groups for post-op patients only
• NO support groups will meet on Memorial Day or July 4^th or Labor Day
• Week of Thanksgiving:  Check with the Bariatric Center for support group schedules
• December: NO support groups will meet during the month of December
• If you have any questions about bariatric support group schedules, call the St. Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence: 317-582-7088 or 1-877-831-1582
