How Do You Manage Stress?
Healthy coping in uncertain times
We are certainly in the midst of trying times, which is why our Bariatric Support Group is more important than ever! We know you are faced with so many stressful situations related to COVID-19, and our goal this month is to offer tools to help lighten the load.
6:00 pm: Any bariatric warriors in the pre-op, post-op or weight loss maintenance phase are welcomed.
7:30 pm: If you are ready to learn more or still at the ‘information-gathering’ stage about bariatric weight loss surgery, sign up here for our virtual information session where you can learn about different operations, find out if you qualify, ask questions and have them answered live!

- Wait for your host (Lori Skurbe) to start the group discussion.
- You’ll see a button to ‘raise your hand’ to speak, but keep in mind, Lori will mute the group in order to avoid participant background noise
- For the April 8 session, Lori will be online early at 5:30 pm to help people who are new to Zoom to get settled in. If you are having technical issues, email mailto:lskurbe@cjbariatrics.com

Virtual Bari Group Fitness: Saturday, May 16
It’s not the right time for us to convene for our bariatric group fitness yet, but we can still devote this Saturday morning to a vigorous walk, jog, bike, row, hike, etc.
Starting at noon, post a video or images of your workout, or share your results via your favorite fitness app, and post them on Dr. Seun’s Facebook profile. Be sure to use the hashtag #PrimeFitness
COVID-19 will NOT stop us from eating well and exercising to boost our immune system and manage our weight.
Raindate: Sunday, May 17
