Free session offers information on weight-loss surgery

If you’re serious about weight loss and would like to learn more about surgical and non-surgical solutions, there will be a free, weight-loss surgery informational session from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14 at the Ramada Plaza in Fargo.

Bariatric surgeons, along with the Essentia Health Clinic Park Rapids and St. Joseph’s Center for Weight Management multi-disciplinary team, will be on hand to explain processes involved with bariatric surgery, your choices and to answer questions about your weight-loss goals. Free body composition screening will also be available.

The Center for Weight Management is certified as a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. It offers laparoscopic gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable banding and non-surgical options to patients.

To pre-register (required) for this event, call Stacey Offerdahl at (218) 732-2837 or e-mail: stacey.offerdahl@essentiahealth.org. The Ramada Plaza and Suites is located at 1635 42nd Street SW in Fargo.

Another future session, same time and place, will be held March 18, 2013.
