Westminster Nov 13 " The Truth About Weight Loss" Seminar

Nov 13 from 6:30pm- 8:30pm at the Best Western Westminster 491 WMC Drive Sinai Division of Bariatric Surgery will host a seminar "The Truth About Weight Loss". Please join us for this informative meeting. Open to the public.

Hello, Could you elaborate with regard to the topic, "The Truth about Weight Loss"? What will be the topics discussed, Weight loss in general, Gastric bypass, physiology of weight loss, psychology of weight loss? Thanks, Sue

The program will touch on all aspects of weight loss but the majority of the content will be on weight loss surgery procedures and outcomes..

You may want to explain in further detail. Really not sure how to put this, so I will be frank. WLS patients are viewed differently by those who are not and WLS has received such a bad publicity. Those of us who have done our reasearch and have had the proceedure done for obvious health reasons seem to always be on the defense. Defending a life saving proceedure that works for us and being looked down upon by others who just think we should have shut our mouths and stop eating. Help me understand how this seminar would be benefical to pre/post op WLS persons.

Is this something I need to register for. If so, how do I do that. I did not see anything about it on Sinai's website. Tracy

I've had several questions about this seminar. The seminar is directed to those people who may be interested in a surgical weight loss procedure. The content will include some information on aspects of medical weight loss, but the majority of the presentation will explain gastric bypass and banding procedures as well as the nutritional aspects of surgical weight loss. I hope this clears up your questions. Please email me if you need an further information. No RSVP is necessary. Thanks
