What is "Obeso-Support" Group?
Part of our professional way of working is our support group. Our whole team benefits the Obeso-Support group.
How it works
A group formed:

by Obese patients |

for the benefit |

|
of Obese patients |
Aims:
To create an important source of information about Obesity, it's co-morbidities and it's treatment for our post operative, pre-operative patients and their family/friends.
It is an excellent opportunity for all to get together and share their experiences as they progress through different stages of their treatment. Just as the treatment procedure is individualized and depends on various factors the experiences of patients is also be varied and informative to all.
Pre-operative patients will meet those who have "been there" which will guide them to make the commitment and readily face challenges, if any, in future.
