Weight Loss Surgery Seminars


The Surgical Weight Loss Center offers free, educational seminars for prospective patients. These casual, no obligation seminars are presented by John Dietrick, MD, Bariatric Surgeon, and the staff of the Surgical Weight Loss Center. Patients must attend one of these seminars before scheduling their first appointment. Seminars are held several times a month. For a list of upcoming seminar dates and times, please look for "Weight Loss Surgery Seminar" in green on our Events/Classes Calendar, which you can access by clicking

At the educational seminars, patients have an opportunity to meet the surgeon and learn about the types of surgery and the expected outcomes. The topics of insurance coverage and payment plans are also discussed. There is also time allowed for a question and answer session with the surgeon.
