Griffin Hospital’s On Track Program in Connecticut
Griffin Bariatrics is committed to empowering healthy living in a healing environment, and that’s why we designed our bariatric support program for excellent care and long-term success after bariatric surgery. Griffin Bariatrics’ On Track program is part of this commitment to providing comprehensive education and support at the time patients need it the most.
The On Track program addresses the special needs of the post-op bariatric surgery patients. Some patients gain some of the weight back after time has passed after the surgery. This is not uncommon, and we have designed a special, “judgement-free” support program to help patients get “back on track” to healthier weight loss and weight management. Anyone who had bariatric surgery in Connecticut can join our On Track program (although participants who had their procedure done at another hospital will be asked to pay a small fee).
The Griffin Hospital On Track Program offers:
- Monthly On Track Workshops
- Support & Therapy Groups
- Low Impact Exercise Programs
Monthly On Track Workshops
Every 3rd Saturday of the month

Both before and after bariatric surgery, exercise is encouraged in order to maximize outcomes. However, it is important to increase your activity slowly to avoid injury. Our bariatric program offers low impact exercise classes in Griffin Hospital’s state-of-the-art gymnasium. Our exercise program provides a safe, comfortable environment for weight loss surgery patients. Each attendee will get a personalized assessment and recommendation for a personalized exercise plan. Cost is $150 for 24 visits or $50 for 8 visits.
