An essential part of any weight loss journey is support, and our entire team is here to celebrate your successes, manage your challenges and help you achieve your goals. We’ve put a variety of support tools in place to help make this journey easier and more successful than you’d imagined.
Support Groups
Support groups are a wonderful avenue for patients to gain knowledge, connect with other weight loss patients, and obtain meaningful support.
Online Support Group
The Hartford HealthCare Medical Group Surgical Weight Loss Support Group on Facebook is a safe community managed by Surgical Weight Loss staff. In the group, patients are encouraged to share your issues and concerns, successes, and ask questions. Weekly live support group features experts from our team, patient speakers and cover topics such as nutrition, exercise, behavioral health, and others.
In Person and Virtual Support Groups
In addition to our online Facebook support group, we also offer in person support groups and virtual support groups led by licensed professionals on our teams. Inquire with your program as to what is available near you. For example, our Medical Weight Loss Program has a Virtual Support Group with a registered dietician and behavioral health specialist.
