 Classes & Support 

 Helpful resources to help you stay focused on your weight-loss goals. 

SSM Weight-Loss Institute classes and support groups can help you lose weight – and keep it off in the future. Take a closer look at the helpful resources we have to offer.

Support Groups

Surgical
SSM Weight Loss support groups are a valuable resource for our surgical weight-loss patients. We offer a general weight loss support group on the first Wednesday of the month for anyone who has undergone gastric bypass or banding surgery or who is interested in learning more about surgical treatment of obesity. To meet the unique needs of those who have had adjustable gastric banding surgery an additional support group is offered. Our meetings offer education, encouragement, and support to help patients reach and maintain their optimum weight-loss. It also provides insight for our patient supporters. Meetings are open to the public and open to pre and post op patients.  Please check the website at ssmweightloss.com for updates or cancellations of meetings.
