Support for Bariatric Surgery
La Ventana offers specialized groups for those who have had gastric by-pass or lap band surgery. As individuals loose weight, emotional issues that were often dealt with by overeating, come to the surface. Our groups focus on how to manage these feelings in a healthy manner, understanding how people may relate to you differently and learning to accept your new body. We provide the support that many people need after bariatric surgery and help heal the underlying issues of compulsive eating.
La Ventana Also Provides:
- Specialized groups for men and boys with eating issues
- Family and couples counseling
- Support for Bariatric Surgery
- Individual psychotherapy
- Individual nutritional counseling
- Our clinicians are available to speak to groups on eating disorder prevention
- Eating Disorder Anonymous Meetings open to the public
What can I say to you besides, "THANK YOU".
You have really helped me and inspired me to become more open to receiving help and treatment!
I struggled with accepting my weaknesses with stubbornness and pride; you showed me that it´s ok to be more willing and open to help.
Thanks for being a staunch supporter and advocate for our cause! La Ventana has saved my life!
— Love, M.P.
