BariNation Support Community

Hello! Welcome to BariNation. 

You are here because you are thinking about having weight loss surgery or have already had bariatric surgery. 

You are in a moment of great personal transformation. You have decided to treat your disease of obesity with the most effective tool, bariatric surgery. 

You also know that surgery alone will not be enough. You understand that the disease of obesity is a chronic condition with no known cure. You are going to onboard all of the available tools, resources, and community to find success before and after surgery. You are a fighter. And you are looking to build your team.
