Proven Pt Support Tool for Better Outcomes
Did you know that several medical studies have shown that patients who attend support group meetings after bariatric surgery have more total weight loss in the short and long term? In fact, according to the research, the more groups bariatric patients attend, the greater the weight loss.
Being a part of a support group is important and it works!
If you think that any of your patients could benefit from additional support, please encourage them to join our UNJURY® Cares Support Groups and Bariatric Mixers every Wednesday from 7:00 - 8:30pm ET. More practices are sending more of their bariatric patients to our virtual support groups. We can provide attendance validation where that is required. Here’s the registration link: Register here
