About

Welcome!

The Bariatric Buddy support group is a safe place for the bariatric population or those considering bariatric surgery, to go for support, acceptance, understanding, encouragement, empowerment and information.

The mission of this group also includes having a very active group, forming friendships and gathering for chats in our group chat room.

We strongly desire and encourage participation from our members. That is how we can truly make an impact in others lives & our own...by really being here for each other!

Be sure to join us for our weekly chat room get togethers! Monday evenings at 7 pm (eastern) in our group chat area.

*** Patrece is a certified wls support group leader, a certified life coach, with additional bariatric specific coach training, a certified back on track facilitator, and an LPN.
