Our award-winning membership community allows members to connect, learn, and grow from experts and their fellow patients in a safe, inclusive, and welcoming digital space. Members can attend unlimited support groups led by a bariatric therapist, educational classes taught by credentialed professionals, and social meetups led by trained patient hosts. Many of our professional experts are bariatric patients themselves, which helps them connect on much deeper levels with our community members.

Our award-winning podcast brings together patients and experts to discuss topics of significant meaning to any bariatric patient. Our conversational format, direct questions, and deep dives into meaningful topics leave listeners (and watchers) inspired, empowered, and uplifted. When we know better, we can all do better.

We utilize our social media platforms to connect with fellow patients, share relevant and meaningful educational content, and spread the word about BariNation! It all started on Instagram for BariNation, where we love meeting new people and patients. 

We love to travel and connect with fellow patients as often as possible. We have been featured speakers at The Bariatric Society’s Annual Retreat and other national bariatric events. We also host free live, virtual support events that are open to bariatric patients. Our Virtual Bariatric Meetups (VMB) allow patients to connect with experts in the bariatric community in real time. We love hosting support groups and meetups for clinics around the country. Ask your surgeon or center to invite BariNation to one of your upcoming support events!
