The St. Mary Medical Center Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Program will host its next support group session on Wednesday, March 6, to help patients continue to meet their weightloss goals. Each support group session features a different guest speaker on a topic specific to bariatric surgery aftercare.
“To help patients achieve the best possible outcomes, we stay closely involved with them in the weeks and months before and after surgery,” said Keith A. Kreitz, MD, the program’s medical director and a board-certified bariatric surgeon. “Offering a patient support group gives our patients the opportunity to learn ways to adjust to their new lifestyles, share experiences and encourage each other in a safe and supportive environment.”
The support group will meet from 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6, in the Medical Staff Office Conference Room at St. Mary Medical Center, 1201 Langhorne-Newtown Road, Langhorne. The conference room is located on the first floor by the parking garage at the rear of the St. Mary campus.
The bariatric support group meeting is free of charge, but registration is required, as seating is limited. To learn more, call medical assistant Monica Velez at 215–710–5711 or visit stmaryhealthcare.org/bariatrics
