These free groups are run by Mary Ziller and are recommended for post op patients only >1year.

These groups are intended for post operative patients 1 year and beyond. The groups are focused in guiding post op patients in developing skill sets required for weight loss maintenance. Patients will be gently guided to utilize their weight loss surgery as a powerful voice that helps them pay attention to the psychological and physical hungers that can trigger the drive to eat and may interrupt the weight loss process. Topics covered include: identifying and releasing negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety and emotional eating; mindless /intuitive eating; managing situations that are controlling and blocking them from feeling good about themselves; achieving positive body image; decoding weight plateaus and learning lesions as their weight loss journey progresses. Participation is encouraged, but not forced.
