We offer seminar and consultation sessions during regular business hours on a weekly basis. See below for the dates of the next available sessions. The consultation sessions take place on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, and will involve:

1. Information session on weight loss surgery, specifics about gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System surgery, the BSC Dallas programs for support, and discussion with a successful post-op patient about their experience.
2. Consultation with the surgeon addressing your specific medical needs and surgery options.
3. Consultation with the staff concerning insurance verification and pre-surgery testing.

The session will begin at 12:00 noon and will take most of the afternoon. Cost for the session is your specialist visit co-pay, dependent upon your insurance plan.

Seminars are also held in the evenings, on the first Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm. These sessions will involve:

1. Information about weight loss surgery, specifics about gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System surgery, the BSC Dallas programs for support, and discussion with a successful post-op patient about their experience.
2. Opportunity to schedule a consultation visit with the surgeon to take place during regular business hours at your convenience. The consultation will be necessary before any further work can be done about scheduling surgery.

The seminar will be free of charge, and parking will be validated.

Greenville Option    NEW!

We are also offering an option for interested patients to learn about weight loss surgery without having to drive all the way to Dallas for the seminar. Come to Presbyterian Hospital of Greenville and meet with our Program Director to discuss the basics of weight loss surgery and how it can change your life! You also have the opportunity to attend a support group with post-op patients and find out first hand how surgery has impacted their lives. You will be given the opportunity to schedule an appointment during regular business hours with the surgeon after attending this session (at our offices in Dallas). Meeting location is in the second floor conference room, just off of the lobby elevators. Meeting time is 6:30 pm.
