Weight Loss Surgery Education S
ymposiums & Support Groups
Leading up to weight loss following gastric bypass surgery, patients must endure a rigorous recovery period and become accustomed to their new way of life. Weight loss surgery patients are expected to make changes to their eating and exercise habits and these life changes can be difficult. Weight loss surgery in Arcadia is a serious operation, so our bariatric surgery practice offers support groups to help our patients through the treatment.
California Bariatric and General Surgery Associates offers monthly Symposiums on Bariatric Surgery on the third Wednesday of each month as well as specific Saturdays. Weight loss surgery support groups for our patients are offered every first, third and fourth Monday of each month.
Surgical Treatment Symposium:
On the third week of each month, a weight loss surgery symposium is held at the Methodist Hospital, Lewis Hall, 300 West Huntington Drive Arcadia, California. The symposium starts at 7:00pm.
