The Online Gastric Bypass or Band Support Groups are for people who have had these surgeries and for those who are researching weight loss surgery for obesity. Jeanne Sanders, the Bariatric Program Coordinator for Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, moderates this group.

This group offers a safe support outlet where members can share their successes, questions and experiences with one another.

Wherever You Are
Whether you’re at home, on a break at the office, or even traveling, you can log on from any computer, 24-hours a day for online support.

How It Works
Our online support groups are free of charge and simple to use. The groups use an email list that allows members of the list to communicate with everyone else on the list with one quick email.
