• Every week, licensed therapists specializing in bariatric care offer virtual support groups created to meet our specific patient needs. Struggling with emotional eating or additional transfer? Join one of the Emotional Eating Support Groups led by Lora Grabow or our Addiction Transfer Support Group hosted by Sarah Smith. Having a hard time navigating the first year post-op? Kristie DeLaura supports you in our Bariatric Beginners and Regan Support Groups.
• Our support groups are only led by licensed therapists and are never recorded to protect member privacy. What happens in BariNation groups stays in the virtual group space. 

Our amazing credentialed teachers guide our members through timely and meaningful classes. We offer nutritional classes taught by registered dietitians and cooking demonstrations taught by our amazing professional chef and patient Stephanie Mitchell, Noelani Apana-Cherry and Rodolfo Alvarez can help you better understand and shift your mindset, and Leane Nagle and Alycia Ghram will guide you through movement classes that are accessible to almost everyone. Can’t make the live class? Don’t worry! Many of our classes are recorded and live in our On-Demand Video Library so you can view them later.

Sometimes, you just want to connect with other patients who GET IT. You want to spend time understanding what it feels like to be a bariatric patient ,someone who knows what the work of WLS is all about. Our Meetups are hosted by peer-moderators, just like you, who have been trained to keep the topics interesting, meaningful, and engaging. Meetups are a great place to connect, unwind, and have a little fun and range in topics.

Our On-Demand Video LiBari (our fun play on the word library) is filled with over one thousand hours of pre-recorded classes that have been taught by our experts. The LiBari  is organised by our pillars of bariatric success- movement, mindset, and metabolic wellness- so you can always find what you need, when and where you need it! And because it is on demand, the support and education is there for you no matter the day or time.

• Many members have not shared their bariatric decisions publicly, making interacting on social media platforms challenging. Because BariNation is a private and confidential community, what members share on our feed remains in our community. No prying eyes, no trolls, no shame or judgement. Just a space for you to share your journey with others in meaningful ways. 
• Members can post on our general, all community Share Here feed, or in dedicated chat rooms organised by stage or struggle. We even have Member-Created Groups where you can connect with link-minded bari friends for a deeper connection. 

Accountability is a tool we can use along our journey to stay focused on our goals. Our Accountability Groups and Challenges offer members a levelled-up support experience through specific Group meetups, targeted support and classes, and a dedicated space to connect. And our Groups and Challenges flex to meet the needs of the community, so there is always something new happening in these spaces for our members!

We know that sometimes, extra support and education is needed and that is exactly what our BariNation Premium Cohorts offer our members. Our cohorts give members access to exclusive learning opportunities, dedicated time with some of our most loved experts, and a contained opportunity for growth. These cohorts are fee based but only accessible to members to ensure privacy.
