Mercy’s Bariatric Surgery Support Group is for patients, friends and family who are considering bariatric surgery or have had bariatric surgery. The group is led by a member of the bariatric surgery team, with guest speakers such as dietitians, plastic surgeons, physical and exercise therapists, and many more.
