Seminars & Support Group Schedules

This program encourages patients to learn about all the procedures offered at Mercy Hospital. Knowledge of all procedures will allow you to reflect on your personal needs and speak with your surgeon to determine the procedure that is right for you. Remember, no procedure is a cure, but a tool which requires your commitment to a life long change in eating habits and exercise.
