Bariatric Education and Support

Keys to your success...

To us, success is assisting patients in achieving a healthy weight and lifestyle. After surgery, patients can accomplish this by adhering to their diet and exercise plans, and by taking accountability seriously. This requires a lifetime commitment. Our ongoing education and support are essential keys on the road to success. Learn about our classes and support group.

Bariatric Pre-Surgical Class

This two-hour class is designed to help patients prepare for their procedure at Enloe. The class provides a better idea of what to expect during the hospital visit and how to participate in the recovery process. It also gives an opportunity for patients to ask questions of medical professionals and meet others who will be having the same surgery. Spouse, relatives or friends are welcome and encouraged to attend this class. The Bariatric Pre-Surgical Class is held on Thursdays, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Bariatric Post-Operative Class

This two-hour class is offered about one month after the gastric bypass surgery. Participants get an opportunity to review important information and follow-up on special guidelines as their diet and other needs change. The Bariatric Post-Operative Class is held on Thursdays.

Bariatric Bypass Buddies Support Group

This support group provides pre- and post-operative information and support. It offers speakers, education and a close-knit, emotionally supportive network of people. The group is free and open to anyone thinking about or who has already undergone bariatric surgery at Enloe or elsewhere, and their family and friends. Batriatric Bypass Buddies meets on the last Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m.
