We know that your decision to have Weight Loss Surgery is a life-changing event. We want you to be fully informed about your options and to have the information you need to be successful in achieving your weight loss goals.
We offer educational meetings in various locations around the Tampa Bay area. We encourage you to attend one of our free seminars and to bring any interested family or friends, so they, too, can have a better understanding about surgical weight loss.
As each physician’s protocol may vary, we urge you to attend the meeting affiliated with the surgeon of your choice.
Support group meetings are one important way to get the emotional support and encouragement that can help lead to sustained weight loss success. Each of the independent physicians who perform weight loss surgery at our hospital is affiliated with a support group, for both pre-operative as well as post-operative support. These free support group meetings are offered on a regular basis. They are an excellent resource for anyone wanting to know more about life following surgery, and they offer patients an opportunity to share their experiences with each other as well as gain support from our program professionals.
As each physician’s protocol may vary, we urge you to attend the meeting affiliated with the surgeon of your choice. Space is limited for our seminars, so reservations are appreciated. Please RSVP through our web form, by email, or by phone at 1-866-931-THIN (8446). Please be sure to identify the seminar date and location.
