Patient Information Sessions

Take the First Step Toward a New Life

Weight loss surgery is a big step for individuals seeking to achieve successful weight loss management. Most patients considering a bariatric procedure have important questions they need answered, including:

• Am I a candidate for surgery?
• How much weight can I expect to lose? 
• What is the recovery like?
• How long will the process take? 
• Will my insurance cover the procedure? 
• What are the risks?

The easiest way for patients to get the most complete, up-to-date information on weight loss surgery is to attend a University Hospitals Digestive Health Institute’s Bariatric Surgery, Metabolic & Nutrition Center free information session. These sessions are offered multiple times throughout the month at convenient locations across Northeast Ohio including:

• UH Case Medical Center
• UH Conneaut Medical Center
• UH Geauga Medical Center
• UH Bainbridge Health Center
• UH Concord Health Center
• UH Medina Health Center
• UH Westlake Health Center

Attendees will meet University Hospitals’ skilled bariatric surgeons, as well as other members of our expert team. Information sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes. Parking is free at all locations.

Individuals who attend a session will learn about: 

• Who is a candidate for weight loss surgery
• Which surgery is the best solution for their condition
• Lifestyle changes to expect after surgery
• Insurance coverage for weight loss surgery

We look forward to helping each patient achieve a healthier lifestyle.
