Center for Bariatric Surgery

Support Programs

Comprehensive Pre- and Post-Surgical Support Services

We’ve raised the bar on the type of care we believe bariatric patients should receive. You are not just another patient at the Center for Bariatric Surgery (CBS) — you are a member of our family. The CBS team will prepare you for every aspect of the surgery and your new life following the procedure, including the physical, mental and emotional aspects.

Our support services begin the minute you enter the program. From driving the insurance application process to arranging consultations with specialty physicians, our program is designed to support patients from the very beginning of their weight loss journey.

Our comprehensive program includes the following services:

• Pre-operative educational programs
• Monthly support group meetings
• Nutritional and psychological counseling sessions
• Supervised exercise programs
• Clothing exchange program
• Online patient-only resources and discussion forum
• Bella Vive, the CBS monthly newsletter
• Annual graduation celebration
