Bariatric Center Georgetown Community Hospital

Support Group Info and Calendar

The Bariatric Center at Georgetown Community Hospital provides support opportunities for our patients in several different arenas.

If you feel that personal attention would benefit you, please try to attend our weekly seminars. Every Tuesday at 11:30 we offer a support group for our adjustable band patients. The meeting lasts for an hour and consists of a small group format that allows for one-on-one attention.

We offer our bypass and sleeve patients the same opportunity each Friday at 10:00. This meeting is held on our Bariatric Care Unit, room 133, and is open to both pre and post-op patients.

If you live far away, or like the anonymity of an online support group, we have that option, too. Each patient will receive an invitation to join our online group during their first appointment with us. This group is monitored by Bariatric Center staff members, and we encourage honest and open conversation.

We also have monthly meetings for patients (pre and post-op) who want to take the opportunity to talk to lots of other patients. We focus on a different topic each month that ’s geared towards weight loss issues.

Our psychologist, Dr. Brown and our dietitians Ciara and Amy attend these meetings along with Crystal and other Bariatric Center staff.

Write these dates on your calendars; each date falls on a Monday and will be held in the cafeteria of Georgetown Community Hospital at 6:30 pm.
