The information seminar was prepared for patients who would like to learn more about medical and surgical weight loss.
Completion of the seminar and the mini quiz that immediately follows the presentation is mandatory if you would like to proceed with an office consultation. You should also print out and fill out completely the Assessment Form from the bottom of this page. Allow yourself about 30 minutes to complete the form and do this prior to your first visit to the office.

In the presentation we review the etiology of the obesity epidemic, the mechanisms of various weight loss therapies and the rational for medical management versus surgical intervention in appropriately selected individuals. Realities versus expectations regarding GLP1-RA type medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) sleeve gastrectomy, the Roux-Y gastric bypass and the duodenal switch procedures will be discussed.


We explain the preparation for surgery, perioperative management and postoperative care. Patients can set realistic expectations and plans for the time of surgery and for life after surgery.

There is absolutely no pressure to proceed with surgery for anyone who completes the seminar program.

You are encouraged to watch the program with a friend or a family member. If you have questions about an unclear aspect of the process, take notes and bring them with you to the office consultation. Your preparation may also include participation in the support group meetings where you can meet patients who already had surgery and are willing to discuss their experiences.

Patients from overseas and out of state can also utilize this tool to learn about weight loss surgery and their options.
