Weight Loss Support Groups

Weight-loss surgery is just the start of a lifelong commitment to health and wellness. But at Sansum Clinic’s Bariatric Surgery Center, you’re never alone on the journey.

If you’ve had a procedure with our bariatric surgeon, Marc Zerey, MD, join us for a free monthly weight loss support group. Our registered dietitian nutritionists, Christina Dominguez and Michele Daniele, facilitate discussion on a variety of life-after-surgery topics, including:

• Weight goals
• Nutrition, including vitamin and mineral guidance
• Exercise plans
• Behavior modification
• Calcium and bone health
• Stress coping skills

We talk about the transition for you and your family and friends, and help you make any adjustments. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to share triumphs and challenges with people on a similar path to weight loss success.  

The weight loss support group currently meets virtually on Zoom the 2nd Monday of each month, 5:30 – 7:00 PM. This program is offered free-of-charge but registration is required. For upcoming dates and to register, call our bariatric surgery program coordinator, Jessica Orozco, at (805) 898-3472.
