The Bariatric Society

The Bariatric Society Fostering relationships in the weight loss surgery community through events, resources, and groups.

09/07/2026

The way 2026 has been, it really could have derailed all the work we have done to lose over 250lbs together.

But despite all that has happened and our intermittent/required time away from the gym, we have been able to not only MAINTAIN but lose 60lbs of regain together.

We couldn’t have done it without the help of KinMeds and we recommend, you head on over to Kin Meds or www.kinmeds.com and complete the free assessment.

Once, your program has been recommended, use our code BARIATRICSOCIETY for savings at checkout.

“Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”

The great Dr. Seuss began this poem by saying:

“Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!”

—> And oh, have we been places! East and West, North and South! Collecting Bariatric friends, saving memories, and waiting to do it again!

“You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
in any direction you choose.”

You have already started your weight loss journey and did big, scary things and now it’s time to create community. Join people who “get it” — they have done it or they are thinking about doing it.

“You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”

Whether you bring a friend or go on your own, once you’re here, you’re home!
