Attend a Seminar
Our free weight loss seminars are the first step to deciding if bariatric surgery is right for you. They are offered throughout New Jersey and are free of charge. These seminars are informational sessions which will explain the different methods of weight loss surgery and the risks and benefits of each.
Attendees will learn about qualifying for bariatric surgery, pre-operative testing, and the post-operative course involved with each procedure. You will learn more information about our multidisciplinary team and comprehensive approach to weight loss. In addition, you will learn more detailed information about pre- and post-operative visits, and about the eating and lifestyle changes that will be necessary to maintain healthy weight loss.
The New Jersey Bariatric & Metabolic Institute informational sessions are held monthly throughout New Jersey. For more information, see below or visit our Events Calendar. Please call or email to preregister, as space may be limited.
