Information Seminars

 

For people who want to learn more about the Lap Band, information seminars are the first step in learning about the Lap Band and deciding if the Lap Band surgery for weight loss may be right for you. The seminars typically last about one hour with a question and answer period after the seminar during which the doctors will answer your questions.

 

After the seminars we can make appointments for people interested in going forward with the Lap Band evaluation process and going on to surgery. We recommend bringing your insurance card and any medical information or records you might already have so that we can begin to process and file it. For more information see the insurance page.

 

The information seminars are also helpful if you have family members such as a spouse who wants to learn more about the LapBand and meet one of the doctors before you come in for your office consultation.

 

 

 

 

Support groups

 

Our support groups are a vital component of our program. Topics discussed during our support groups include post-operative nutrition, exercise therapy, emotional support and adjustments. These support groups are provided for our patients' benefit. We also encourage patients who are about to undergo the Lap Band procedure to attend support groups.
