Bariatric Support Group Meeting Videos
A bariatric support group in Surat gives patients a place to share their weight loss journey, ask questions and stay on track after surgery. Dr. Vikram Lotwala holds regular support group meetings at Wings Hospital for patients before and after bariatric surgery.
Why support group meetings matter
- Patients learn from people who have already been through weight loss surgery.
- They get practical guidance on diet, protein intake, supplements and exercise after surgery.
- Regular meetings help patients stay motivated and avoid regaining weight over time.
Who should attend
The meetings are open to patients planning bariatric surgery as well as those who have already had it. People still deciding get honest, first-hand answers. Operated patients get ongoing support from the surgeon, the dietitian and fellow patients. Family members are welcome too, since support at home makes a real difference.
