Bariatric Surgery Support Group Events

The Reliant Medical Group Bariatric Surgery Support Group is offered for our patients who have participated in our program and have had bariatric surgery. This group addresses a variety of topics relevant to the post-op patient.

Current and Future Events:

June 2012

Show and Tell: Patients will bring in resources (i.e., cookbooks, food items, websites, books, apps, etc) that they have found helpful after surgery during transition and beyond.

Past Events:

Lauren Marie from Lauren’s Zumba Network demonstrates Zumba
We were lucky enough to have Lauren and a couple of her students come and share her knowledge of Zumba! She not only demonstrated zumba but taught us a few moves too. Zumba is a great alternative to working out in the gym, as you sweat while you are dancing and having fun. For more information about Lauren’s zumba classes check out her website: http://laurenszumba.com/.

HOOP the World
Heidi Delisle visited the Reliant Medical Group Bariatric Surgery Support Group to share her knowledge of HOOPing, which is not only fun but a great form or exercise. Heidi Delisle started the HOOP the World project to spread the joy of HOOPing and raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Her son was born with CF and she’s turned her HOOPing expertise into a fund raiser for this disease. She makes each hoop by hand and all of the proceeds from sales go directly to the CF Foundation for research and patient care. Heidi donates all material costs and labor to support the project.
