Bariatric means "weight loss." A "bariatric practice" is a medical practice that specializes in weight loss. A "bariatric group" might be a group of bariatric surgeons or a group of post-surgical patients. It's hard to say. Any bariatric surgical practice worth its salt has a schedule of support groups, meetings, consulting professionals, a psychologist and/or social worker, RNs and a nutritionist. If you are looking for a bariatric surgeon, get some names from the hospital's physician referral service. Call around and find out which practices offer a free, information seminar, then attend it to learn about the options and to ask questions. Find what kind of post-op support is available and don't work with a group that doesn't have any.
