Do you think support groups are helpful after your weight loss surgery?

Here at DayOne Health in Chicago, we think they are! A recent study, showed that patients who attended support groups achieved more weight loss by a mean BMI decrease of 9.7 +/- 1.9 than patients who did not attend support group. What does this mean for patients? If you have the support of other patients who had the lap-band surgery just like you, you will be more likely to succeed at your weight loss goal! The staff at DayOne Health is ready and willing to help you at every step of the way-especially with your after care.

The exchange of information and stories are the most valuable elements of participating in a support group.
