Oahu Support Groups
Aloha Surgery is proud to be a part of the Castle Medical Center team and The Hawaii Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery which offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to weight loss surgery.
Following surgery at Castle Medical Center, patients in the program receive twelve months of follow-up care that includes group and individual counseling sessions, nutrition counseling and cooking demonstrations, fitness classes designed specifically for program patients, and peer support groups that help address emotional, behavioral, and other issues. Patients can always get additional support beyond the twelve months.
The Hawaii Center for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery has recently started up their Oahu Support Groups once again. All Oahu Support Groups are held at Castle Medical Center, Wellness Auditorium. No registration is necessary to attend.
