Bariatric Center Georgetown Community Hospital

Education Program

We want every patient to understand that weight loss surgery is a surgical tool designed to help our patients lose weight and to maintain that loss for life. This is why patient education is so important to us and our program.

 

We thoroughly educate and prepare our patients for weight loss surgery, because we believe a well-informed patient will make the healthiest decisions. To this end, we focus the major portion of our time making sure that you understand the procedures we offer and how they will affect you.

 

We start educating you with the first phone call, and we continue with each seminar, support group and appointment you attend. We want you to understand every aspect of this journey and we welcome any questions you may have. This website will be another avenue for our education program. Check back periodically for new topics in our web cast forums, and look at old newsletters.
