Images Support Group

The Unity Hospital Bariatric and Weight Loss Center sponsors free support groups for individuals who have had or are considering gastric bypass surgery. Led by former gastric bypass patients, Images Support Groups provide a forum to explore issues connected with our surgery and weight loss. We support one another in our new lifestyle choices and share the challenges and joys that accompany this journey. Research has demonstrated that patients who regularly attend support groups tend to achieve greater weight loss.

Spouses, partners and other adult support persons are welcome to attend. No pre-registration required.

When:   The Sartell/St. Cloud area group meets the first Tuesday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m.
This group's final meeting is on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2008. The group will not meet in 2009.
Where:   Abbott Northwestern's Sartell Outpatient Center, 2000 Abbott Northwestern Court, Sartell, MN
Cost:   free
Contact:   Amy Amberg, support group coordinator, 763-236-2068
