Information Sessions and Support Groups

Information Seminar

Prospective patients are encouraged to attend an information session to learn about our comprehensive program including the types of procedures offered, the risks and health benefits, the insurance process, as well as providing an opportunity to ask questions and meet one of our surgeons.

Bariatric Information Sessions and Bariatric Support Groups are held monthly. We also offer weight loss education and support to patients who are contemplating weight loss surgery.

During the Covid-19 emergency, our bariatric center team is ready to assist and meet your weight loss needs while maintaining state and federal guidelines through telehealth. If you are a new patient ready to start your weight loss journey or a current patient who needs to see a provider, please contact our office to arrange a telehealth appointment. In recognition of social distancing guidelines, we are cancelling in-person seminars until we receive guidance from public health authorities that it is safe to resume.
