'Roadside Assist'

Obesity is a complex chronic, progressive, relapsing illness that affects many parts of the body and mind. There are now powerful tools such as surgery and medication to help manage it, but these are not final solutions, and they bring challenges of their own. Roadside Assist is there to help you on this journey. 

After more than a decade of working in the area of obesity, we realized that some patients were missing out on the follow-up support they really need. If you had bariatric surgery several years ago and feel like you are "falling in to old habits", Roadside Assist is for you. If you are on medication for weight management, but want more support in between doctor visits, Roadside Assist is for you. If you are struggling with life after weight loss, Roadside Assist is for you. If you want to meet other people on the same journey, Roadside Assist is for you.

The meetings are one hour long, facilitated by health providers with knowledge and experience in medical weight management and obesity care. At each meeting we provide news and information about new developments in the field, brief talks about relevant topics and issues in obesity medicine, and also make time for discussion, Q & A, and recommendations as needed. If you are just starting on your journey of body change, or are in need of some 'repair', or even just hoping to keep the momentum going, our "roadside assist" meeting is there for you when you need it.
