Unique Support Group For Men Dealing With Obesity Issues Initiates Monthly Meetings Sponsored By Khalili Center In Beverly Hills
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Even though the challenges facing overweight women seem to dominate headlines, obese men face similar obstacles in dealing with how their weight affects their job performance, personal relationships, and general health issues. That's why Khalili Center, a one-of-a-kind surgical practice offering a comprehensive approach to weight loss, has established a Men's Support Group specifically recognizing support needs for their male patients.
This unique exclusively male support group, led by Dr. Howard Gluss, PhD, gives men the opportunity to discuss the challenges of obesity and weight gain/loss in a setting affording them open and frank discussions. The group is open to male weight loss surgery patients or any males experiencing issues from being overweight in the Greater Los Angeles area and is free of charge.
The first Men's Support Group will be held on February 20th, and the topic is "Men, Obesity, Sex and Intimacy" beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Khalili Center in Beverly Hills. Subsequent meetings will be held the third Thursday of each month. Dr. Gluss is a noted Clinical Psychologist (psy21522), Author and Radio Show host with extensive experience in Addiction Recovery, Eating Disorders, Obesity Counseling and Psychological Assessment. His solid background working with overweight/obesity issues gives him a valuable perspective and understanding of the special challenges that overweight men face. "I look forward to leading the group in open discussions that, through the benefit of our own experiences, will help each other along with the comfort that the group's camaraderie will generate," said Dr. Gluss.
The Khalili Center is built on the ideal that its relationship with patients is truly a Partnership for Life providing continual tools and support to help people transform their lives. The Center's surgeons, Dr. Theodore Khalili, Dr. G. Kai Nishi, and Dr. Eraj Basseri, have successfully performed over 5,000 weight loss surgery procedures, including Gastric Bypass, Gastric Banding, and Sleeve Gastrectomy.
