Each month a weight loss surgery seminar is held for all interested candidates. All patients are required to attend the informational seminar prior to seeing the surgeon an initial consultation. At each seminar, we will cover in detail each of the surgical procedures including how the procedure is performed, risks and benefits, advantages and disadvantages, nutrition needs, activity and exercise requirements and what to expect following surgery. A surgeon, a registered nurse (coordinator of the program), dietitian and physical therapist will be present and will be able to answer any questions that you may have. Please see the schedule below for upcoming seminars. You will need to call 573-815-6400 or 1-800-872-9008 to register for the seminar.

The class is located in Broadway Medical Plaza #3. This building is located directly across from Boone Hospital Center on East Broadway. Take the elevators or stairs to the third floor and the classroom is immediately to your left once you exit the elevator. You will be sent a map with your application packet once you sign up for the seminar.
* Please arrive 30 minutes early so that we may obtain your height and weight.
