The Journey
Surgery is only one piece of the solution. The path towards a healthy lifestyle will have challenges. Our program is designed to provide support at every step of your journey. Studies have shown behavior modification is one of the most critical components to any weight loss strategy.
Changing behaviors related to eating, exercising and weight control is an obvious challenge. Change does not happen overnight. Memorial Hospital understands these issues and has assembled a dedicated team to make your program successful.
Your multi-disciplinary team will include surgeons, the Bariatric Program Coordinator, dietitians, mental health professionals, exercise specialists, bariatric advocates and other medical specialists who offer continuous compassionate support and guidance in a respectful environment. The focus is to help each patient establish and achieve realistic goals.
The key factor to improving health is sustained weight loss. Conquering obesity is about restoring and preserving your health, extending your life and improving the quality of your life. Our program offers public support groups on the 2nd Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at Memorial Hospital. Call the Bariatric Surgery Center at (904) 399-6360 for additional bariatric focused events.
