Weight Loss Surgery Seminar
Free Educational Seminars at West Jefferson Medical Center
The Center for Surgical Weight Loss (CSWL) at West Jefferson Medical Center conducts regularly scheduled seminars on the first Thursday of every month at 6 PM. During these free seminars, we review the entire bariatric surgery program. Prospective patients are encouraged to register for this seminar as an initial step in their bariatric surgery journey. Spouses or other family members interested in assisting and supporting the patient in the process are also welcome.
