Patient Support Group

Support group meetings are offered once a month and designed to help people with their post surgery weight loss journey. Each meeting will offer an opening topic of relevance to attendees, including presentations by guest speakers, and then offer small group break-out sessions for discussions about successes and challenges.

Hosted by Tamara Lux, P.A., UF physician's assistant for the Shands at UF Weight Loss Surgery Center, the free meetings are specifically for patients of Drs. Kfir Ben-David and Juan Cendan, or patients new to the area who are now receiving follow-up care at Shands at UF. Reservations are not required.
