SADI-S surgery is a life-changing procedure, but success is not just about the operation itself. Long-term results depend on ongoing guidance, the right aftercare, and having people around you who truly understand the journey. At Blackrock WeightCare, we know that medical expertise and structured support go hand in hand — and that is why our patients are never left to face the path alone.
Why Support Groups Matter After SADI-S Surgery
Recovering from SADI-S and adapting to a new lifestyle can be both exciting and challenging. Support groups help patients by:
- Providing understanding — you are surrounded by people who are going through the same changes.
- Offering encouragement — celebrating milestones together keeps motivation high.
- Sharing practical advice — from nutrition tips to coping strategies for recovery.
- Giving emotional reassurance — reminding you that challenges are normal and manageable.
Research and experience both show that patients who engage with support groups are more likely to maintain weight loss and feel positive about their transformation.
The Blackrock WeightCare WhatsApp Community
As part of our aftercare, patients who undergo SADI-S surgery with us gain access to a dedicated WhatsApp community, structured around different stages of recovery and personal interests.
- Stage-based groups (Fresh Start, Stronger Every Day, Level-Up, The One-Year Mark) connect patients with others at the same point in their journey.
- Interest groups (Diet Corner, Walk Club, Buddy Plan, Inspiring Stories) keep patients motivated, supported, and engaged in healthy habits.
This ongoing support is guided and moderated so that patients always feel encouraged, respected, and connected.
