Bariatric Surgery Webinar
The University of Maryland's Center for Weight Management and Wellness offers a comprehensive surgical approach to weight loss. In our free educational webinar, you’ll learn more about how bariatric surgery can help you with weight loss.
Bariatric surgery helps adults from ages 18 to 70 who cannot lose a large amount of weight. Those who have the surgery must maintain the loss through diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes.
In our educational webinar, our bariatric surgeons cover everything you need to know about weight loss surgery, including detailed information about gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastrectomy.
Topics include:
- Health insurance requirements
- Nutrition and exercise
- Our weight loss program, including medical nutrition therapy and surgery
- Reasons to consider bariatric surgery
- Types of bariatric surgery and the risks and benefits of each
- Your follow-up care after surgery
