Weight Loss

Bariatric Support Group

Weight Management Program at Adventist Health Simi Valley

Our support group is led by a Registered Dietitian. Each month we will review a different post-surgery topic. Recent studies have shown that patients who regularly attend bariatric support group meetings lose more weight and are more successful in maintaining their weight loss. For this reason, anyone who has had or is considering surgical weight loss is encouraged to attend.

Virtual or in-person meetings offered! 

In-Person: fourth Thursday, every month from 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Virtual: third Thursday, every month from 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Join virtually through Microsoft Teams using this meeting link.
