Nutrition Sessions for Bariatric Patients (In-person) Exclusively offered to both pre-op and post-op patients of the Center for Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery.
Overview
A class taught by one of our staff dietitians. The goal of this class is to teach patients the proper way to eat to achieve and maintain weight loss goals both before and after surgery.
Weight loss surgery patients have different nutritional needs than non-surgical patients, so it is extremely important to know how to meet your body's needs for long term health and success.
