A lot of what I learn about the gastric band comes from listening to patients at the support group meetings. The patients who have been successful all seem to have made losing weight and getting healthier one of the top priorities in their life. They put as much effort and energy into their weight loss as they do their job and family. The patients who are not successful complain their jobs, school, family, and relationships cause them to lose their weight loss focus. Integrating your weight loss and band adjustments with the rest of your life is a challenge. Having a supportive spouse, co-workers, and friends is definitely an advantage. However, those who do not already have this type of support can find it at our weight loss support groups. Patients who regularly attend support groups find that it helps them maintain their weight loss as a top priority in their lives. In addition to the support groups, professional psychological services are also available to our patients on an individual basis. For more information on support groups and psychological services, please call us at 384-8446.
