Life After Surgery: Support Groups
Life after surgery can sometimes be difficult and frustrating. One of the benefits of working with Dr. Fass is that he is personal! Whereas other Austin doctors finish the surgery and shuffle you off to others for follow-up appointments, Dr. Fass is unique because he sees you personally at every appointment and walks with you through your post surgery progress.
Although Dr. Fass is personal, doctor visits don’t always fill every void after surgery. Sometimes other support beyond your family and doctor is needed. That’s why we suggest also finding a local support group. These groups often meet at public and local areas and commit to goals together. This brings a team feeling to your progress after surgery and allows you to deepen the support you received post-surgery. We invite you to check out these two resources to find a support group that will help and encourage you after weight loss surgery!
