UAB St. Vincent’s East “Journey To Fit” Bariatric Surgery Support Group

Journey To Fit Bariatric Support Group is a welcoming, judgment-free community for individuals at any stage of their bariatric journey—whether you’re preparing for surgery, newly post-op, or years out and focused on long-term success. We understand that bariatric surgery is more than a physical transformation; it’s an emotional, mental, and lifestyle journey too. Our group offers encouragement, education, and real-life support from people who truly get it. Through shared experiences, honest conversations, and practical tools, members gain confidence, accountability, and motivation to build sustainable habits and a healthier relationship with food, movement, and self-care. At Journey To Fit, you’re never alone. We celebrate progress over perfection, focus on whole-person wellness, and walk this journey together.

There is no cost to attend and support groups are held one a month on Saturday. To make support accessible for everyone, attendees can choose to attend sessions on site at the UAB St. Vincent’s East bariatric center or join virtually.

All support groups are held on Saturdays from 12:00pm-1:00pm (central)

In person address and virtual log on information to be sent after completion of RSVP
