The Weigh

The Weigh is a peer-led bariatric surgery support group affiliated with the Centennial Center for the Treatment of Obesity and hosted by The Grace Place. Led by Joe Estep, The Weigh is designed to provide pre and post surgical support for bariatric patients in the Hermitage, Tennessee area.


The Weigh offers bariatric patients a support system for long-term success following bariatric surgery. Besides tips from the Center on such things as exercise, portion control, nutrition, etc. the group also provides accountability and companionship. Significant weight loss and the lifestyle changes that occur following bariatric surgery can be difficult for “outsiders” to understand and support groups provide a network of others who have gone through these changes and can share advice, strategies, and motivation.
The Weigh also offers those who are considering weight-loss surgery a chance to learn more about the process and the expectations following surgery. Families of bariatric patients are also welcome to attend meetings to understand the changes that their loved one is going through.


As a part of The Grace Place outreach, The Weigh is proud to be associated with the Celebrate Recovery ministry. Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program for anyone with “hurts, habits, or hang-ups” and is a wonderful partner program to not only help those with the addictions or other struggles that are often related to obesity but to those who may be having issues related to their loved one’s new lifestyle.
