Coffee with Muffi: A Supportive Space for Your Weight Loss Journey
Dealing with obesity can feel isolating. The challenges you face are unique, and even post-surgery, not everyone—including your closest family members—may fully understand or empathize.
At Digestive Health Institute, we recognize the importance of being there for our patients not just before surgery, but for years afterward. Over time, we’ve also realized something profound—our patients often support and inspire each other in ways no one else can.
Judith Johnson and William McCown, in their book on therapy, perfectly capture this idea:
“Although support and self-help groups can vary greatly, all groups share one thing in common—they are places where people can share personal stories, express emotions, and be heard in an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and encouragement. Participants share information and resources. By helping others, people in a support group strengthen and empower themselves.”
Inspired by this, we created Coffee with Muffi—a unique initiative that brings together Dr. Muffi, his expert team, and our wonderful patients. It’s a space where you can share experiences, exchange advice, ask questions, and find encouragement—all over a cup of excellent coffee and healthy, delicious snacks.
Why Coffee with Muffi Is Special
What makes this initiative truly unique is its inclusive approach. It’s not just for those who have undergone surgery—it’s also for individuals who are considering it but need guidance and reassurance.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Conversations with Our Patients: Hear real-life stories from those who’ve chosen a healthier path through surgery.
- Expert Guidance: Interact with top surgeons, compassionate nutritionists, and a supportive team eager to address your concerns.
- Celebration of Success: Share your progress, clarify doubts, and celebrate your victories—no matter how small. Every story matters, and every milestone is worth cheering.
For many, Coffee with Muffi is a chance to reconnect with the team, find answers, and experience a community of shared understanding and motivation.
