Welcome to the Bariatric Society
Weight Loss Surgery pre-op, post-op, or maintaining? Congratulations, you’ve found your people.

Join the Bariatric Book Club.
Pre & post-op-ers welcome! The book club pushes us to do the head-work. We read a pre-planned book, join a monthly video call, and almost always find a way to talk about poop.

Come find your bariatric bestie. Peer connection is the most important ingredient for success (and it’s so much more fun with a friend).
See what we’re reading
We find the best content for weight loss surgery patients, toggling between self help and memoirs.
