Change in Support Group Format

At Hamot Bariatrics, we believe this is not a journey you go alone. We want to equip you, educate you, and journey each step with you. Our Support Groups are designed for patients going through weight loss surgery regardless of whether you are Pre-op, Post-op, or just investigating the process.

Our Support Groups meet

the 2nd Wednesday of every month

from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE. . . . . The next support group will be held at Clarion-Bel-Aire, 2800 West 8th street, Erie, PA 16505 between 6:00-8:00pm on September 8th, 2010.

Each month you will hear a featured presentation as well as a personal story from someone who has been through the journey . . . and is still on the journey.

Please click HERE to see our dates for 2010 Support Group Meetings

We encourage our patients to attend at least three meetings before proceeding with weight loss surgery and attend these meetings for at least 6 months after surgery.

If you have any questions about support group meetings, please contact

Hamot Bariatric Surgery Center

Mission Statement

The members of the HMC Bariatric Support Group will work in a thoughtful and caring manner to guide each pre/post surgery patient toward the goal of leading a healthy and active life.

We will do this by providing pertinent information about the surgery procedure as well as offering guidance in making the lifestyle changes that will be necessary if that goal is to be achieved.
