Seminars and Support Groups
Bariatric Seminars
You may have decided that bariatric surgery is a viable and effective alternative to living with obesity and its related diseases. While we strongly believe this to be the case, we also want you to be aware of both the benefits and risks of weight loss surgery. Our free seminars are a great way for prospective patients and their families to understand the process and meet the staff. They also allow you to ask questions about your suitability for bariatric surgery – questions you may not have thought of otherwise. Finally, we require your attendance before you come in for our fist consultation.
Remember, bariatric surgery is major surgery and it is important that you take the time to learn all you can about the procedures, the staff and the facilities so you are 100% confident in your decision.
Our seminars are by appointment only. Please fill out the form below and we will contact you with further information.
Support Groups
While your weight loss journey may begin with the surgery, it certainly doesn’t end there. Weight loss is a lifelong commitment with hurdles along the way. Our support groups are there to help you overcome the obstacles you will undoubtedly face. After surgery you will be given a diet and exercise regimen that must be adhered to for maximum weight loss. Just as with any commitment, at times it will be hard to stick to the program. Now, however, you won’t be alone. You’ll be meeting with others in your position; others that have experience your trials and have found way to overcome them.
Our 'GENESIS' support group is open to the public and is located at DCH Tuscaloosa, Willard Auditorium on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 6pm-7pm
Please call 205-752-2501 to register for the next support group meeting. We look forward to seeing you there!
